Default Chronic illness common among veterans

Anyone treating any of this people?

And what do they have in common? Vaccines.

"Nearly 29 percent of deployed veterans and 16 percent of nondeployed
veterans experienced chronic multisymptom illness, the investigators
report. Seven percent of deployed veterans and 1.6 percent of nondeployed
veterans had severe symptoms."

Chronic illness common among veterans

Last Updated: 2006-01-17 15:09:46 -0400 (Reuters Health)

By Will Boggs, MD

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Chronic illness characterized by a complex of
multiple symptoms is more common in deployed Gulf War I (1991) veterans
than in nondeployed veterans, according to a report in the American Journal
of Epidemiology.

"Veterans with multiple complaints may have chronic multisymptom illness,"
Dr. Melvin S. Blanchard from St. Louis Veterans Affairs Medical Center, St.
Louis, told Reuters Health. "It is important to seek co-morbid conditions
such as depression, anxiety, metabolic syndrome, and treat them."

Dr. Blanchard and colleagues investigated the prevalence of chronic
multisymptom illness and related factors in 2189 veterans who participated
in the examination phase of the National Health Survey of Gulf War Era
Veterans and Their Families 10 years after the 1991 Gulf War.

The researchers defined chronic multisymptom illness as the presence, for 6
months or longer, of one or more symptoms from at least two of the
following clusters: general fatigue, mood and cognitive abnormalities, and
musculoskeletal pain.

Nearly 29 percent of deployed veterans and 16 percent of nondeployed
veterans experienced chronic multisymptom illness, the investigators
report. Seven percent of deployed veterans and 1.6 percent of nondeployed
veterans had severe symptoms.

Among deployed veterans, higher levels of combat exposure were associated
with chronic multisymptom illness, the results indicate.

Both groups of veterans with chronic multisymptom illness had significantly
more clinic visits, and more prescription medication use than did veterans
without chronic multisymptom illness, the researchers note.

Chronic multisymptom illness was significantly associated with fibromyalgia
syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, joint pain, dyspepsia, and metabolic
syndrome, the report indicates.

After adjustment for other risk factors, prewar anxiety disorders and
depression were strongly associated with chronic multisymptom illness,
regardless of deployment status.

Stress management programs and improvements in lifestyle, such as increased
exercise and diet education, may help minimize symptoms, Blanchard added.
Also, identifying and treating co-existing psychiatric illnesses "is
extremely important."

Not just vaccines, but also heavy pesticide exposure, DEET, possibly
depleted uranium, possibly sarin - a very toxic soup

No, not the ones that were NOT deployed.

Yes, those that were deployed but this talked about ALL of them.

I know those are things with the deployed and more
