Jim's records indicate biochemical exposure which is related to his diagnosis of MS. It is amazing how many military are developing MS or MG. Jim spent time in Jordan for desert training before the Gulf War started. This was when Iraq and Iran were going at it. The shots they had to take were crazy! He was dx'd with MS and medically discharged before the war broke out. Fastest medical discharge.

What I hope is with all these diagnosis is they come closer to finding out what may be triggering the disease and find a cure faster.

Does Jim receive VA disability? How is he coping?

Yes, he is 100% service connected. He's coping best he can considering. He was a grunt, 101st Airborne and now a quad. He was originally on military disability when he was discharged but converted to VA. They take good care of him despite a few bumps in the road. He was discharged back in 1988.

Make sure you take advantage of all the benefits you are entitiled to including vehicle and adaptive equipment as well as adaptive housing grants. You deserve it.

PS: Also keep track of all your new symptoms in case you need a rating eval. Jim started out at 75% disabled and is now 100%
