Still struggling
I am still struggling with the effects of the stupid pneumonia..seems like it just does not want to let go ugh! In the meantime hubby is NOT doing better and we are running around dr to dr with no definitive answers other than they know he is hurting but cannot find out exactly why! FRUSTRATION can you say? Yeppers! We also have found that in all likelyhood his onset of diabetes several years ago may well be related to his service in Vietnam under Agent Orange as he was on the coast of Vietnam most of his tour. We are going to be filling out all that massive paperwork Friday over at VA. To top things off we think that the health issues our adult son has are related to his military service during Desert Shield! He has 8 or 9 of the signs of Gulf War Syndrome and some of them are so severe it is causing him and his wife alot of issues worrying. We never connected his health problems with this until this week our family dr stated he has extremely small red blood cells and when doing some research I found links to Gulf War Syndrome and all the other health problems he has had are all there in big bold print! We are going to look into it further as his frustration and I think even fear of it are getting the better of him and his wonderful wife! Please keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers..we all need some answers and some hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel with some if not all of the health problems for two of the most important men in my life.
