I had a brief spell in sattahip,Thialand in Aug 1970.My hands and arms were paralized for 10-15 minutes and couldn't move,After extreme low back pain.I had laid on my bunk to rest.Utapo AFB medical personel coundn't find a reason for it.I never had any more trouble for 25 years.It started with a stroke like symtom with my right arms going numb.The rest is history tremers,Atrophy in both cellebras of the brain,extreme low back pain like in thialand,fatigue,high blood pressure,numbnessess,numbnesses in right arm and fingers,Left leg weakness and stiffness and numbness.I tried to get VA to help but said I wasn't in Vietnam when it occured.I was in vietnam a brief time in 1966-67 and was exposed to agent orange but was gave only one year to put in claim.I didn't know what AO was untill 2002.I hope this will help some more understand the neurological aspect of AO.I finally applied for Social security and recieved disability in 2004.It takes 2 years to get it after putting it in.The VA is in denial and we have to live with it untill they wake up are we die.

>untill they wake up are we die.I also served at Utapao AFB at Satthip, Thailand. I also have numbness in my arms and Diabetes 2. The social scecurity has already granted me disability and now I would like the VA to accept my claims of exposure to AO They have been denying me since 1992. Please send my any info available so I can get them to listen to me. Any and all info would help. Thanks

>I was at Tuy Hoa Vietnam, fron 1966-1967. Had the same type of problem, but with my legs, not my arms. Nobody could find anything wrong with me at that time and put me in a mental Hosiptal for five months before they discharged me. Then 16 years ago I found out that I had MS.
