hi jlh43,
I was at camp lajeune from 1985-1986. I was told by a lady named Shannon at the Health and Human Services that there was more than two chemicals in the water. Here is what she told me was in the water: TCE, PCE, DCE, METHYLENE CHLORIDE, VINYL CHLORIDE & other VOCS.
I have two forms of arthritis, fibromyalga, anxiety disorder and neurological problems. My back also broke for no logical reason. My wife and I also lost our first baby to a miscarriage, our son also has health problems. My blood type changed also, it was o- before I was at Camp Lajeune and it has been a+ ever since I left Camp Lajeune.
I am disabled and have been unable to work since 1994 and received a letter from the V.A. after almost a year of providing evidence from all of my doctors flat turning me down for any help at all.
Congressman Heath Shuler was going to help, but it does not look like he has very much influence with the V.A. I hope you have better luck than I have had.
