i really don't understand what is going on with my body. something happened with my first deployment in oif. since then i contracted discoid lupus, had 2 bouts of sarcoma, disc compression (iba syndrome), bilateral tremors, ptsd, neuropathy, 3 rounds of pneumonia, epididydmal cysts, and a tumor on my pituatary gland. ya'll, i'm starting to think i'm not going to be around much longer. i know that is a stupid thought, but something is really wrong.

i wonder if i was exposed to some agent or chemical while doing a sensitive site exploitation

Are you in touch with other guys from your unit who are having similar problems?

I am sorry you are going through so much, Sarge. I really hope you get some decent answers here, pretty soon.

That's a lot of illness so definitely all well and good to stay positive, but in the interests of realism, keep on seeking out as much info as you can so that if you have been exposed to an agent or chemical, there's a better chance of finding out what is was and what can be done. Keep on posting as well.
