We’ve all heard the phrase but do you know all that it entails? Most don’t know what can be considered a medically unexplained illness, or that your sinus issues that began after your tour in the Gulf can be linked to your time there. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (never feel rested), Fibromyalgia (pain all over), functional gastrointestinal disorders (IBS, GERD), are all part of Gulf War Syndrome. Here’s a link to the VA web site that provides more in-depth descriptions and definitions.
