Chemical Exposure & Other Maladies

Question

I was wondering if you guy's know of a way to accquire information of diabetes cases and/or other pshycological issues,

after serving at Treasures Island, San Francisco. Reason I'm asking Is that all the Barracks were built on a Toxic Waste

site. I just want to see if there is any connection between the toxic waste and illnesses incurred after being stationed there.

Right now It's curiousity.

Thanks

That is the kind of info I would like to put together to prove a point if nothing else. We should not have had to be exposed to that stuff/&&^%$. I feel the exposure at T.I was entirely too high and I want to try to prove it. this kind of info, I am sure will help,..... that's why I need this type of info, I'am totally convinced, has caused all mine. I appreciate your input.

Thanks

I am not a doc but you have many symtoms consistent with DMII -

but I assume the docs have totally ruled out diabetes ???

Also- when was your MS diagnosed?

Multiple sclerosis is one of many presumptive chronic conditions under Service Connection by Legal Presumption, found winthin 38 USC 1112,1113, and 116- also 38 CFR 3.307-3.309-( all of the chronics SCed under this reg are available here under search if it fits into this criteria:

The disability manifested itself to a degree of at least 10% within the presumptive period (those periods are in the rgs- MS has the most favorable presumptive period- Seven years)-

NVLSP makes the point that symptoms alone that are characteristic of any chronic disease- if corroborated my buddy statements and/or medical evidence etc-

can help the claimant fit into this reg- even if the chronic disability was not formally disagnosed during or within the presumptive period right after service.(usually a year for most presumptives under this reg.)

How soon after your discharge was MS diagnosed?

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.
