"Leg
symptons not due to peripheral arterial diseases, but likely due to Peripheral
Neuropathy.
*Also
note by same* • "Neuropathy likely unrelated to vascular flow, most likely
related to Agent Orange Exposure."
Other
VAMC departments knowledgeable of my Agent Orange Symptoms and difficulties
include Podiatry, Neurology etc...
*Please
be advised*
I
was born with only one kidney! I did not know until after military service. I
should have never been "drafted" - See My VAMC records.
I
did not volunteer for service!
I
did not ask to go to Vietnam!
I
did not ask to serve in areas and to be exposed to toxic chemicals. Agent
Orange not only affected my life but thousands of my fellow veterans. This is
exacerbated by a Government, a Defense Department. A Judicial System, the
Chemical Industry, and various Investigative Departments that denied and showed
no concern for the harm done to Veterans.
I
attempted to take action in the late 70's and early 80's but to no avail ( See
references and denial).
I
have maintained good health (diet, exercise, no diabetes, no high blood
preasure, no weight gain, no drug abuse, no hepatitis etc....)
all
my life to be told I have AGENT ORANGE RELATED NEUROPATHY
causing
more difficulties than I have had time to evaluate (lung cancer, liver, kidney,
and who knows what else may develop).
The
latest information I have is: "Service Connected Disability
Compensation
for Exposure to Agent Orange" dated January 2015. "Forward by: Johan
Rowan, National President Vietnam Veterans of America.
I
need an immediate response to the denial or should I start correspondence
elsewhere?
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA
