Agent Orange and Neurological Disorders

Posted by Teresa, Volunteer Mentor @hopeful33250, Oct 2, 2016

I just read a post from a veteran who discussed the effects of Agent Orange and Parkinson's Disease. It made me wonder if there are others who have had similar experiences? If so, is there anything you have learned from your medical team and/or the VA regarding this? Please feel free to share your story.

First I want to thank you for your service. I lost my husband in Feb to a host of medical issues that doctors believed were from agent orange. It’s important that vets keep talking and checking in with the va for updates. Parkinson’s has been recognized for a long time then they added Parkinsonism and finally Parkinson’s like symptoms so progress is happening.
