Greetings everyone,if you have one of these then what? I have thyroid disease and had it removed. I'm on the list for bad drinking water at Marine corps Bases... Women are eight times likely to have thyroid problems than a man. What increased my odds ?

[Berta 4,215]

Good info

reminds me that AL ( amyloidosis) is AO presumptive.

http://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/agentorange/conditions/al_amyloidosis.asp

Me. Plum have you filed a bad water Camp Le Jeune claim yet?

[me.plum 26]

No I have not filed a bad water claim yet. I didn't know that Thyroid disease was on the list and I am having such a hard time here in Michigan regarding my claims, sitting at the RO waiting on BVA hearing. 08 is when I got my Docket member,this Nov 19 is when I had my hearing. It was brought up at the hearing about my Thyroid because of the PTSD. The minute I get the BBE, I will submit a Thyroid claim. Thanks Berta for the info and I will stay on top of it

[me.plum 26]

I think you did it again Berta,my wife and I googled AL disease and I do have all the symptoms.My doctor appointment is next week with my primary for blood work because of the Thyroid being gone.I will have her check it out. Thank You Again BERTA

[Berta 4,215]

Thank You Too!

I am glad I helped Me.Plum!

But I dont think the thyroid condition is considered yet to be from the contaminated water at Le Jeune.Those vets are having a hard time with their claims....the main wins have been those vets who developed any of the cancers VA listed.

You gave me a chance to re post this info here.

Not only is AL ( Amyloidosis) presumptive to any veteran exposed to Agent Orange,,

ALS is also presumptive to all veterans who fit into this criteria:

http://www1.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=1583

ALS ( amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) aka Lou Gehrig's disease )

Anyone who served at least 90 days of continuous active duty in the U.S. military may qualify for VA benefits. Survivors of veterans may be eligible for benefits, including monthly compensation, regardless of when their loved one was lost to the disease."

http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/va-provides-benefits.html

I wonder how many vet reps know that.

Both of these VA press releases were posted here years ago as soon as I or other members got them,.......but I fear many vets with either of these two disabilities dont know of these regulations.

Immune system disorders cause abnormally low activity or overactivity of the immune system. In cases of immune system overactivity, the body attacks and damages its own tissues (autoimmune diseases). Immune deficiency diseases decrease the body's ability to fight invaders, causing vulnerability to infections.

In response to an unknown trigger, the immune system may begin producing antibodies that instead of fighting infections, attack the body's own tissues. Treatment for autoimmune diseases generally focuses on reducing immune system activity.

The purpose of the original post was/is to inform due to the fact that over the years we have gotten new membership at hadit.com. It maybe wise to pin this somewhere for future memberships to see. Also to inform all veterans if they have the symptoms to speak to their doctors about treatment and or therapy for better life and living and to file claims if warranted.
