So I went to the rhuematologist today for a follow up. After witnessing some of my newer symptoms, such as electric shocks throughout the body, she wants me to come back to the mayo clinic and to call my local neurologist for a lp. Of course, she didn't offer to pay for either rofl.

Actually we are not an "offshoot" of the Legacy. We are a brand new organization founded by 2 children of deceased Vietnam Veterans both suffering from birth defects from our fathers exposure to Agent Orange. Until we formed our org., there has never been a group BY Children of Vietnam Veterans FOR the children Of Vietnam Veterans. We are working very hard and have made many
accomplishments since our founding at the end of January 2012. Our main website is http://www.NoFoolsHere.org

I get the whole electrical issues as well. Like pins coming out of all pores of my body.
Will V.A. ever have to pay? My son suffers as well.

Hi Tiffie... My husband was an Agent Orange Veteran who was treated at Mayo in Rochester, and succumbed to A/O related cancers 5 years ago. All 3 of our children have chronic health issues. My son in paticular has symptoms that you describe.... severe intermuscular & joint pains that have defied definitive diagnosis since he was a kid. The children & grandchildren of Vietnam Veterans have a myriad of illnesses & medical conditions that could well be related to their parent's toxic exposure. I've been involved with an on-line organization called Agent Orange Legacy for several years, fighting for health insurance for the children of Vietnam Veterans... the Legacy has been compiling a data base of all the illnesses of our children... you may want to check it out agentorangelegacy.com You'll find plenty of us in the same boat, discussing Agent Orange & our related health issues there, looking for answers. Agent Orange Legacy can also be found on Facebook.
There's also a more recent activiist offshoot of Legacy that can be found on FB called Children of Vietnam Veterans, working on this same issue. http://www.facebook.com/COVVHA with a little different focus.
Good luck to you.
