I am interested too. I have a severe degenerative disc disease and chronic pain syndrome. These are issues seen in second and third generation Vietnamese exposed to "lighter" AO bombing.

I am looking for studies about this as well. If you know of any studies or any medical specialists that are researching this, any sharing is appreciated greatly.

Welcome @vetdaughter, I'm a vet who also has degenerative disc disease but I don't think mine is related to my time with the Navy in Vietnam. Assuming you've done a lot of searching using Google, have you tried Google Scholar? It can sometimes pull up a lot of new research info (some you have to pay for). Here's search results using "Agent Orange exposure +Vietnamese" --
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Agent+Orange+exposure+%2BVietnamese+&hl=en&as_sdt=0,24
Not sure if you have seen this article on the Know A Vet website but it has a lot of references in the article that might be helpful. -- A Toxic Legacy: The Generational Effects Of Agent Orange: https://www.knowavet.org/a-toxic-legacy-the-generational-effects-of-agent-orange/

Do you think your degenerative disc disease might be causing some of your chronic pain?
