I came upon this article today:

The article states that “A report released Monday concluded that “Gulf War Syndrome” is a legitimate condition suffered by more than 175,000 U.S. war veterans who were exposed to chemical toxins in the 1991 Gulf War.” Wow! “Unexplained neurological illnesses, from brain cancer to multiple sclerosis.”

Sounds familiar to me. For one, I am glad that this condition is being noticed as real, but at the same time I am frustrated. Why don’t doctors and scientists do more research into breast implant sickness? The entirety of the studies that are done funded by implant companies, and not people who are concerned about the wellness of women everywhere. 

This part was shocking - “The committee, composed of independent scientists and veterans, said Congress should boost funding for research on Gulf War veterans’ health to at least $60 million per year.” Wow! We should get that kind of help, too. Every woman I know who is sick from her toxic implants is in medical debt.

Their symptoms are even similar to ours - “Symptoms include persistent headaches, widespread pain, cognitive difficulties, unexplained fatigue, skin rashes, chronic diarrhea and digestive and respiratory problems. Many Gulf War veterans suffering these symptoms say they met with skepticism when seeking treatment.”

Hopefully this will open eyes to more unexplained illnesses like ours. I am happy that many of these vets will finally get help.
