CDC Chemical/Biological Meeting

   Atlanta,GA - Feb/March 1999

     

This would probably be the last time that the original Gulf

War Community would be together in mass. There was

alot of tension, many of the groups had grown apart.

The agenda was very difficult, and the time tables made

many of us sick. Still, a job had to be done - and the

whole collective effort was working farely well in such

tight quarters.

 

The first day was introductions, and then from there would

come the 4 independent workshops:

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS

TREATMENT

PREVENTION

 

A few like myself registered for all of them, and went

nuts running between rooms.

When the smoke cleared, we had a working model of

what we wanted. Then the CDC would spend a year

and a half transcripting 1,100 pages of material into their

summary report.

Though the data was good, the government would forget

this report, and make ludicrous statements that Gulf War

veterans suffer from Somatoform ( making themselves

sick by suggestion )..
