Question: I am a retired army vet. In 1974, I went to basic training at Ft McClellan Ala. That fort has been closed due to its chemical toxicity. Although I was there for two week, I wonder if I was exposed long enough to any of the following to cause some of the medical issues I have today: Agent Orange, Agent Blue, Sarin, VX, Uranium, Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) and Trichloroethylene (TCE). Some of the things I experience are short term memory loss and mental confusion (sometimes), shakiness, edema in legs, low thyroid, symptoms of hypoglycemia, lower back pain, arthritis, overactive bladder, anxiety, GERD, sleep apnea (I use a B-pap machine but still have bouts of extreme sleepiness throughout my days), low potassium, etc. I had a hysterectomy in 1999 because of ovarian non-malignant tumors. I am 73 years old, so some of these may be age-related.
