Served with 7armoured Bgd (British Army, Inf). I am and have been suffering for 17yrs or so, with most of the symptoms, i.e. painful joints,headaches,sleep disorders,nightmares,PTSD,Anxiety Disorders, Fatigue, Anger problems, Memory problems, Concentration problems, Sexual disfunction, IBS, Shortness of breath, etc. I am sure you all know the others that come with this dreaded illness, that is not recognised by many proffessionals in the medical sector! I have been awarded Gulf War Syndrome "Umberella Term", by the Veterans Agency, but still have to fight to get any help from them and the MOD! I have never been given any strong answers by a single medical person, which makes things worse! at first I denied anything was wrong with me, but over the years I have gone from being a fit, strong, quick thinking soldier, to a weak, forgetful, pained no-body! yet we still have to look and write these articles to try and find out that little bit more information on GWS! I have tried taking my life on a number of occassions but never succeeded! nearly everyday I think about it. WHY CANT THE MOD/GOVERNMET HELP just that little bit more and tell us all the truth about this illness? I have really had enough.

I was probably one of the first to come back with the illness, as I was not there long. I was 23 and very sick.I did not have the digestive issues but just about every other problem. I haven't had normal sleep in 17 years. No Va Doctor or Civilian doctor could treat the problem. I am 40 now and my body is not fighting it like it used to. I have 2 children and both of them have some sort of memory problem. - Cheryl Douglas Wed, 14 Jan 2009 05:18:56 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/articles/gulf-war-syndrome-articles/guts,-brains-and-gulf-veterans/#comment-289 I have suffered with this disease for almost 18 years with no help for any VA doctors. After going on the strict diet regimine specified in The Sunderland Protocol treatment I have finally found something that works. Particulary for my severe IBS, stomach, and digestive issues, but dramatic improvements in overall mood and mental health. I truely believe this is a hugh breakthrough in the understanding and treatment of Gulf War Illness. - John Boyd; Gulf War Veteran, USMC Sat, 06 Dec 2008 21:08:17 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/articles/gulf-war-syndrome-articles/guts,-brains-and-gulf-veterans/#comment-154 GULF WAR SYNDROME IS WITHOUT DOUBT, ONE OF THE BIGGEST COVER UPS OF ALL TIME.------------ALVIN PRITCHARD.
