Question
alre
So I am a GW veteran with service in southwest Asia Persian Gulf area. I have been out of service since 2004. I have had muscle and joint pain symptoms of Fibro over the past few years and was just recently diagnosis by a VA rheumatologist with Fibromyalgia. I have no documentation of this condition or related symptoms in my STR, unless TMJ joint pain systems would be a consideration? My question: since I didn't have any symptoms of Fibro on active duty, can I file a claim as "Fibromyalgia presumptive to service in the Gulf War/southwest Asia"? WOULD APPRECIATE ANY GUIDANCE!

Absolutely you can apply to the VA for this condition as a presumptive condition from your Gulf War service. Your best bet is to refer to the Self Help Guide on the National Gulf War Resource Center's
