I would like to add to the new covid variant’s list of symptoms:
Altered sense of smell and taste
Cinnamon smells like burning wood and my favorite cereal tastes like wood too. Everything is wood with this covid variant. #covid

It's nice to finally have answers to these questions we've had for so long about Gulf War Illness. I hope there are answers for the people who were in the same area after 2003. #MECFS #GulfWarIllness
US press release:
"Underlying cause of Gulf War illness confirmed in UTSW study"
"Dysfunctional mitochondria, organelles that serve as cellular power generators, appear to cause the symptoms of Gulf War illness ( #GWI )"

My oldest aunt died a few days ago, and I found out last night from a screenshot of a Facebook post that my father made. My daughter sent me the screenshot since I don’t speak to my family anymore. This is how my family works in the MAGA era.

So, I assume that by the time they get to OIF and OEF veterans with "chronic fatigue syndrome" and "fibromyalgia" (the official VA diagnoses for unexplained medical illnesses presumptively due to exposure while in service) most of us will be dead.
34 years is a ridiculous amount of time for this.

The symptoms affect up to a third of the 700,000 troops deployed during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm more than 30 years ago.

My daughter just started college and we can't even call the GI Bill Hotline due to the shutdown to find out why she didn't get her student verification email for September. Luckily, she's got enough in scholarships and grants that she doesn't rely on the GI Bill 💯, but it would be nice to have.
