I am a Vietnam Vet who is filling a claim for an increase in Service
Connected Disability from the effects of Agent Orange. I have been
diagnosed with a problem with my brain that effects my memory, my
speech, and train of thought. I have diabetis and neuropothy. I have
pain from my neuropothy and loss of feeling in my hands and feet,
which all are documented by the VA Medical System. Since I keep
reading about Agent Orange and hearing that it has various health
effects, I was wondering if there is any data on the neuropothy issue
and being connected to my brain problems. My brain problem is a mild
encephalopahty consistent with focal dysfunction in the fronto
temporal region. One possible sharp wave from the feft fronto temporal
region versus asymmetrical vertex wave. The aforementioned was
determined by a EEG and a Sleep Deprived EEG. Therefore, I am looking
to see if there is any medical data to link my brain problem with being
exposed to Agent Orange while in Vietnam, diabetis or neuropothy?
