Post: U.S.A.F Member sick from CS Gas, gene Mutation &
Posted by Joe on 4/06/11
I was exposed to supposedly CS gas at a training facility in Texas. We were locked in the chamber and forced to breath the toxic fumes for probably about 2 minutes or so, not being allowed to leave without stating rank and S.S. and unit. The morning after exposure I was to fly out. On the way to pick up my orders I was trying to walk straight and kept going to the left my eyes were like they were crossed and vision was blurred. I was sick for almost 8 months. finally wearing P.T. as my uniform and being led outside the barracks once or twice a week to get some sun. I went to the base hospital daily and was given cups of water and told that their was nothing wrong with me. A colonel after about 5 months of this or so saw me being led outside by a roommate and chewed out some captain in the E.R. After probably 20 or more visits they gave me an I.V. and stated i had other problems. "which I still don't understand". On the 8 month of being like this on a medical hold, "thinking I would be like this for ever and a lot of praying" I finally felt a tiny fraction better and continued to get better until I was once again myself. I continued on with my schooling and after a year and a half was medically discharged. I just turned 30 and was just diagnosed with a gene mutation, compliment ch50, High lactic acid, had double pulmonary embolisms and a large clot in my inferior vena cava along with a list of other ailments. I am on 6 medications now and just had a filter put in by my heart. I go to the VA and they tell me I am not a vet. So I have a 600K bill at the local hospital and go to the doctors daily. They are telling me because I was National Guard that I had to file a workmans comp. from the state I was in and deployed. However they are saying that the statutes of limitation are up. I am very sick and can barely do anything for myself any more. I am wondering if anyone else has had effects from "CS" gas or whatever it was. Also looking for an attorney to try and help..... Please any info or other people with simular effects let me know
