Parkinson's
 
I think the reason that there are many with autoimmune issues (of which Parkinson's has an autoimmune aspect) is because there is a common chemical of harm ... more than just AO.

I would like to ask you if you have FATIGUE, headaches, memory loss, etc ... or the CFIDS, CFS, FM symptoms also?

I have posted my views on the other chemical in the mix ... and a common chemical of harm throughout the decades under Veterans' Issues - Disability Compensation / 2-butoxyethanol

Both types of diabetes have
an autoimmune aspect ... birth defects such as Autism, Leukodystrophies ... and more advanced things like MS, ALS, 'mad cow disease,' (such as Staff Sgt James Alford's family blames on his recent disability); CNS Lymphoma ... and Parkinson's somewhere on the high end of autoimmunity

Exposure looks like the flu. Recall any serious flu episodes?

As to type 2 diabetes:  "On November 9, 2000 Hershel Gober Secretary of the VA approved diabetes type 2 link to Agent Orange. It was presumptive for all those in Vietnam and adjacent waters. In 2003 the change was made to in-country Vietnam 1961 to early 72. Thus the Haas decision resulted. AO was recognized also as being used on the DMZ in Korea 1968-69. Now it is known to be used elsewhere as well. But only Vietnam 61-72 and the Korean DMZ 1968-69 are presumptives all others must be proven."  Dave Barker
