I find this hard to believe, those of us who served during Desert Storm are forgotten about as far as the VA is concerned. When I do go to the VA all they want to hear about is Iraq and Afghanistan

I agree, the Primary Care Managers (PCM) may not fully understand battlefield exposure challenges. I must ask, have you followed the steps for enrolling in a Gulf War Registry? You are entitled to an exam to help identify medical issues that may be related to Desert Shield/Storm and the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War. The registry exam will improve medical conversations between you and your PCM: https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/gulfwar/benefits/registry-exam.asp

I understand your perspective, the past is not much to go-on. But, I'm going to lean-into the research, it's better than nothing...
