Who did you serve with? (what branch) Where were you at?
I am activated Air National Guard. I've done three tours in the Gulf, the most recent on the Kuwait/Iraq border. While deployed, I became sick with flu like symptoms that continued after I returned stateside. Those symptoms continued as well as others started including extreme pain and swelling in various joints, centralizing in my hands and feet thus making both almost completely worthless. I am now considered disabled. There is another girl from my unit that has the same symptoms, only further along. Hers started in 2000 after our unit began our vaccination series. I also had medical issues at that time but no one ever made a corralation until recently. I'm not trying to cause problems or make waves, just trying to find information.
