I Remember Evenings Walking Infog From Spray For Mosquitos. My Shift Seemed To End Just When The Spraying Was Done Daily. After Breathing The Stuff My Throat Tightening And Coughing I Have Shaking Hands Invoulentary Twitching In Arms And Legs. Pain In Hands Feet Back Deteriation Of Spine Lower, Also Numbness At Times In Extremities. I Just Thought This Was Old Age. Also I Lost 50 Lbs For Several Months During And After Wt Loss Had Skin Sores All Over Body. I Wonder If Malathion Is Retained In Fat Like Ddt And Pcbs. Thank You For Getting This Info Out

>I was at Phu Cat Air Base 9-67 till 9-68. Years ago my legs started to jump every time I would relax .After a while my arms started too .My wife would yell at me in my sleep because my arms would hit her all night and my legs would kick her constantly.After I quit smoking it got worse and I began to shout out and babble for no reason .Neurologists have told me that it's Tourettes(inherited).In my life I haven't ever heard of any relatives who come close to my symptoms .My daughter (29) is now exhibiting some of my symptoms .
I have ALSO HAD BLADDER CANCER .I HAVE FILED WITH THE VA FOR THE CANCER .They rejected that claim but I am in the appeals process right now .We'll see

I was stationed at the 7th RRFS(RadioResearchFieldStation) (U.S.Army) from Sept70 til Dec'71. AtThisTime I do not have any of the problems that alot of Thailand Vets are having to deal with. And everyone also needs to know that "it wasn't just the Air Force that was in Thailand"!!!! But the facts remain that we have been excluded and (to put it mildly) THAT'S NOT RIGHT

I was stationed at the 7th from April of 1975 until March of 1976. I distinctly remember the mosquito spraying AND the guys inside and outside the perimeter spraying the foilage. If you want to see what the 7th look like from above, take a gander at this link. http://www.vspa.com/k9/agentorange6.htm

Presently, I am diagnosed with Type II Diabetes with no family history and it is not easy to control. Keep up the fight, you guys...we deserve it.
