Ever since desert storm I get sick off and on. Were the chem pills a source of the sickness. Along with anthrax shots

I am not sure. Some of the stuff going on with my health i relate to age (turned forty last year). That said, right after last deployment my thyroid messed up, had to start colesteral pills, and i am now a regular user of ambien. All of wich is an age thing except that this all got diagnosed within about three months.

SFC Sanders, Thanks brother for your input, I to am going through some changes as well, my thyroid is messed up as well. I now take meds for hypothyroid. I take ambien as well, that kind of helps. Everything is a work in progress, aaaaaaaaa.

All I have ever heard is likely from fear of the unknown. I just missed getting the shot myself. They changed my deployment from Jordan to Turkey in '97.

If you haven't yet I'd say try a private Doc rather than the VA. Nothing wrong with being a little skeptical.

Good luck Edward.

Well that's not outside the realm of possibilities, I have just found they don't have the same bias. A different bias sure. I hope some can help you Donald.
