I have Ischemic Heart Disease, & Hypothyroidism from my time in Vietnam. Now, almost 60 years later, I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I've had the symptoms of PD for many years, but blamed them on the heart disease, when they were actually PD symptoms. I've had severe obstructive and central sleep apnea for about 6 years. Now I'm going to blame that on my Parkinson's Disease.
They're still selling that weed killer under the name of Roundup. It's much like agent orange. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH THAT STUFF, or just DON'T USE IT!

Served in USMC 68 69. My wife and I live at a Senior Living facility. We had lunch with another resident whose husband flew F4s. Agent Orange led to his diagnosis of Parkinson Disease.
