I was in the Gulf and have been diagnosed with multi symptom illness, to include eosinophilic esophogitis with no pathogogical findings, Back flow, Gerd, Loss of weight 34 LBS in a year, muscle spasms, atrophy, speech problems, movement disorder, degenerative disk disease, degenerative spine disease, balance problems, skin cancer nose, and above each eye in each corner. I had 3 operations. I have had cysts removed and developed a rash of some sort on top of both feet. My appetite is shot. I have severe headaches that last up to 3 days at a time now with no letdown. I have a cyst in my throat and the docs say they dont know why. Dizziness, numbness and tingling in most of my body, which has now turned into muscle cramps and vibrations. I also have a lesion on my cervical spine which the doctors have said have degenerative changes since last MRI. They only did one brain MRI in Oct of 07 which I'm told should have been repeated. I finally was referred to neuro muscular clinic and just had a spinal tap, no results yet. They are also finally talking about muscle biopsies, I have a gen surgery consult the 29. Short term memory problems and now severe depression. Also bloating and problems defacating. I cramp up at night big time and during the day i'm exhausted. I was in the Marines in Kuwait inside the Oil fires and we had to many chemical alarms go off to count. Also From what I understand most of the depleted uranium was used in Kuwait and we climbed on burnt out Iraqi vehicles of all sorts and when past the highway og death. I was in artillery. My name is Dave and I'm looking for answers.

Hi Dave, I think I replied to you via e-mail, but to add an entry here - sorry to hear you may have this too. Good news if its Blastocystis, it doesn't usually kill you (as Agent Orange/radiation does) but it does send your medical bills thru the roof and make you feel like crap. Bad news is that US scientists are clueless about protozoal infections. But the scientists overseas have more on the ball, and publications on this are doubling about every 8 months, so hopefully some decent treatments will follow. Stay tuned. Best Wishes, Ken
