After I left Nam I developed "celluitis" in my hand; had many disorders that seemed to be immune related; seemed to mimic muscular sclerosis involving pain and reduced function in my head, eyes, hearing, ability to swallow, weakness in limbs and much more.

Then began the long-term immune responses: severe rheumatoid arthritis; CREST syndrome (a constellation of symptoms, the acronym stands for C - Calcinosis; R - Reynauds Syndrome - E - Esophageal spasms and constriction; S - Scleroderma is thickening and hardening of skin, organs, tissues among other body parts.

In September '11 I was diagnosed with catastrophic disabilities when colorectal, liver and lung cancers were found and put me on chemotherapy for six (perhaps more to come) treatments.

The VA has denied all but a 10% hearing loss, originally I had 65% but Pres. Bush cut about 83,000 vets pensions and can only guess most of them,like mine, were never restored .

In 2006 I was informed that my ship was in the "Blue Water Navy" and also carried live nukes. The letter somehow went missing and an appeal was not filed.

Need any and all pertinent information, validation and immune system involvemen from herbicides.

Thank you all for your service and any answers you may have.

LA. Johnson
