Gulf War illness/syndrome? Gulf War vet...diagnosed with multiple illnesses...some with unknown causes, all seem unconnected to one another. Denied VA benefits because all illnesses have been "named" (Narcolepsy, Hypothyroidism, hypogonadism & hypertension). During war, was exposed to chemical weapons and paint/solvents/chemical coating used on F117A's. Can the combination of illnesses be seen as one "unknown illness"?
