My ex-husband is a Gulf war Vet and he has suffered numerous unexplained health issues since his return in 1992 we had three Children one of which was born in 1995 and died at birth and no one has ever really been able to give us a reasonable explanation as to why? Our son was born in 1996 and has suffered numerous health issues. Really since birth, but his problems have gotten more severe and complicated as time goes by. He suffers from chronic severe persistent asthma, migraine headaches, Gastroparesis, GERD, peptic ulcer disease, chronic obstructive sleep apnea, chronic back pain, and most recently IBS with constipation, chronic bronchitis, lymphocytosis, chronic swollen lymph nodes on his neck and armpits, spinal degenerative arthritis, chronic fatigue, he has cysts in his lungs and his lumbar region, and he suffers from recurrent infections and in addition to the back pain his muscle and joint pain of unknown origin. He has become so debilalted that he is no longer able to attend school and can barely work. Over the last 14 months he has gone from working and going to school full time to only being able to work one day a week and that one day of week that he does work takes him three to four days to recover from. The doctors don't have any answers and they have literally run every test on him known to man and they still don't know what's wrong with him. Now they are trying to get him into a rheumatologist to evaluate him for possible chronic fatigue syndrome. I feel so sorry for him and I am running out of ways to help him. He is barley 20 years old and has such a low quality of life. If anyone is experiencing any of the same things or has any ideas please feel free to contact me.jonesmjanie@yahoo.com
