My husband suffered a pituitary adenoma in 1987 which destroyed his pituitary gland. Since then, he has developed Parkinson's disease (2007), loss of hair on his legs, hearing loss which he gets VA benefits for (10% disability). The VA is currently looking into his Parkinson's disease claim since it's addition to the Agent Orange Effect List. Could the pituitary adenoma have been caused by Agent Orange?
