Hi all, I am still on active duty and presently following up on alot of the same symptoms. I have in my medical record saying possible Gulf War Syndrome but the treatment for it supposedly has been discontinued from what I am being told by Naval Portsmouth Medical in Virginia. I tried to be seen by the VA but they denied the request. What I was told is that they will treat each individual symptom and go from there.
I dont know if this is because Im still active duty, or what I am expecting when I do retire but I have been following up with treatment for 2 years now with nothing working. Im frustrated and worried about a Medical Board myself, so I am out of answers and would like a little guidance if anyone has any?
Not to mention some of the meds I was put on had such bad side effects that I couldnt keep using them unless I wanted to not have a productive life. Lessen one symptom to worsen another or add to my symptoms. Frustrated to say the least.
