[rgero311975]

Are you a Gulf War 1 Vet? If so, hives are apart of the GW Syndrome, a mysterious reaction to common chemicals. I would at times break out in hives on certain soaps and sunscreen. If you are that vet, perhaps worth looking into for a claim.

NO i served most of my time in south korea in the early 90's..i got hives when i was a fort sill ok... i got them for weeks at a time....

Ft Sill could do that

i was told that i could get treated for anything but id have to pay for nonservice connected condtions....so i have a pain clinic that i go to and they prescribe me meds i can simple take them to the va? this would save me 100 dollars a month.. i guess bc i when i ask my va doctor for a poditrist consult nothing came from it i have a bone spur on my nonservice connected foot so what your saying is the va will pay for surgery that i need on this..
