It may not be PTSD. He might have gotten something into him that’s eating away at his nervous system or some such.

Remember how long and hard the VA fought to refuse to even acknowledge any issues stemming from Agent Orange exposure?

And the neurological issues that some of the veterans of Desert War 1 came home with?

Imo, PTSD is becoming one of those diagnosis tags thrown onto some folk after doctors simply get tired of trying to figure out what’s wrong. Not saying there’s not a real PTSD, but that PTSD has become so publicized, it’s an easy tag to hide lazy, stupid and/or mystified medical practitioners too.

Something’s wrong with the guy. But it doesn’t really sound like a psychological issue, so much.

Hmm ... points to ponder. Thanks for a different perspective.

I'm not a subject expert in medicine, but those symptoms sound like some sort of poisoning.
