I've seen a few things mentioned about some type of

connection between gulf war illness and Lyme. Nine

years ago I was discharged and I became very sick.

Now I have a diagnosis of Lyme. If there is some

type of correlation can someone explain it or point

me in the right direction. Thank you

Hi, I don't know the answer to your question, but I would try Googling "Lyme and Gulf War Illness" and see what you get.

Good luck; sorry for the diagnosis. Hang out here; you'll learn lots and be supported much.

Mycoplasma Fermentans!

This is what people coming back from the Gulf war were found to have. The disease that the government ignored.

It is also likely to be a co-infection carried by the tick.

It was possibly developed as a bio-weapon.

Check out Garth Nicolson's website www.immed.org
That's the place I started for my daughter's treatment.

He has numerous articles on this.

Similar type of neurological disease was found in boht lyme and Gulf War Syndrome.

Check out GFS and you will see that they have their own website. Problems definately similar to ours but no clue why.

Possibly the soda that sat out on skids in the hot sun, or something other. Plastics, innoculations? They are now saying Vets from Iraq and Afghanistan are having more lung problems from smoking.

Has anyone looked into sandstorms they have? It's very dry and sandy. Stop trying to blame it on something other than envrioment there! Hello? One way to cut V.A. spending!
