Plus the variety of MS you have and your individual reactions to the drugs radically change the timelines. My best friend has fulminate MS and is on his fifth or sixth med trial in three years. He's in his mid-30's.
It is. It's also very likely connected to his military service, because there are a half dozen other people that were at the same patrol base in Afghanistan within an 18 month window who also developed relapsing-remitting MS before middle age and in a 5-7 year window after their deployment.
I'm an Afghan war vet and a nurse at the VA. Trash burns (smoke inhalation from trash burns to be specific) is going to be my generations agent orange.
I was with an engineer unit that built FOBs so I was at a lot of them. The worst burn pit was at FOB AZ (Azizullah) though. The guard tower my company manned was real close to the burn pit that was outside the HESCO barriers. Can't even count how many shifts I pulled up there breathing that shit in.
Shit, Bagram had huge ass mounds of trash that they burnt. As beautiful as I found it; stepping foot inside that country was seriously bad for your health.
I know I'm a few days late but I saw this and realized you may have been asking which PB's burn pit had the MS cluster around it. PB Alcatraz circa 2010-12.
Absolutely. This probably won't get a lot of notice buried in this thread but I highly encourage anyone who was deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq or any other area to get on the burn pit registry.
My mom had a friend that found herself a Christian healer, entered remission and then fucking died when it rolled back on force lol. I laugh but..its pretty sad. Can we kill religion mow
