| My
husband was in the Gulf War and we now have a 4 month old daughter that
has been diagnosed with a heart defect (Ventricular Septal Defect or VSD)
and a brain defect (Lissencephaly). There is no apparent cause for
these defects and I was wondering if anyone else that was in the Gulf
War has had children
with the same or similar problems. If you have any information on this,
please feel free to email me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I
am very concerned with getting
pregnant because my husband has
the gulf war syndrome. He was married to another
woman when he got back. His wife was pregnant
twice with the first being a miscarriage and the
second being severely handicapped. Now we are
together and have been for a few years and i
have a healthy child from a previous marriage
and just experienced my first miscarriage with
my husband. Now I am concerned that if I am able
to carry a child that it will be severely
handicapped. Does anyone have a similar story?
Feel free to email me. 10/2000 Carolyn |
| I am Mark
and i have a similar problem, when i got out of
the service i was doing ok i had just gotten divorced. it wasn't
till i got remarried that we had two healthy babies two years apart.
when we tried to have our third baby, this is when my wife had the
miscarriage. she was four months pregnant. when the doctor looked at the
baby she or he did not have the bones fully developed .so far we have
not tried again so i don't really know if it was due to the gwi or it
was fate .but what i have read on the internet is that alot of us guys
with gwi do have this problem where the baby was born but had problems
with their lungs
or different things. as for me i am going to try again to have another
baby and if in case she or he does come out not normal well i am going
to give she or he all my love and leave our gov't responsible for not
giving us the answers that we deserve god bless you Carolyn mark |

My daughter was born with Pierre Robin Sequence and we think it's linked to my husband's service in the Gulf War, but nobody will listen to us. Judy |
| Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is the name given to a combination of birth defects which usually include a small lower jaw, cleft palate and a tendency for the tongue to "ball up" in the back of the mouth. Many of these children have breathing and feeding problems early in their lives. |

NIOSH studies indicate 2-butoxyethanol has caused reproductive disorders in laboratory animals (rats or mice) and may have the potential for causing similar disorders in humans 2-22-06 |

Consider the Middle Ages and the "bubonic plaque" The bacteria was found to enter through the eyes. Or, was it a chemical exposure that entered through the eyes? |
