	Gulf War Syndrome - Gulf War Syndrome Symptoms And Information
		Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), which is also known as "Desert Storm Diseases" or simply "Gulf War Veterans Illnesses", is a collection of symptoms reported by veterans (and civilians like press and government employees) of the first Gulf war since August 1990.
		In the study Gulf war syndrome was compared to chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivities and other similar illnesses to determine if the current definition for those illnesses could adequately describe Gulf war syndrome.
		Although there is little research involving this chemical in gulf war veterans, it is possible or even probably that it contributed to the symptoms experienced by veterans.

	The Unseen Gulf War by Peter Turnley - The Digital Journalist
		As we approach the likelihood of a new Gulf War, I have an idea and it occurs to me that the Digital Journalist may be the place for it.
		I was in the Gulf for many weeks as the build-up of troops took place, and then sat out the "air war", and flew from Paris to Riyadh as soon as the ground war began.
		War is at best a necessary evil, and I am certain that anyone that feels differently has never experienced or been in it.

		Gulf War veterans suffering mystery illnesses after returning from the 1991 conflict were probably not poisoned by pesticides, researchers have said.

		The researchers said this meant that, although they could not rule out organophosphate poisoning in Gulf War veterans, a different as-yet-unknown toxin at home in the UK was more likely to be responsible.

		War fought between Iraq and allies of Kuwait, from January 16 to February 28, 1991, lasting 44 days altogether.

		Gulf War Syndrome as a seperate disease, or set of symptoms with a common cause appears to be a myth.

	Gulf War Health
		These symptoms were indeed more common in Gulf War veterans, but have been seen in every war in which the United States has participated.
		The majority of symptoms seen after the first Gulf War were due to a specific exposure that has yet to be discovered (e.g., an undiagnosed infection, low levels of nerve gas).
		Returning Iraqi War veterans have been exposed to a war with greater numbers of combat and civilian casualties, longer periods of intense fighting and bombings, fear of surprise attacks and ambushes, lack of sleep, harsh weather conditions, and knowledge of the lack of international support and frequent war protests.

		Gulf War syndrome describes a wide spectrum of illnesses and symptoms ranging from asthma to sexual dysfunction that have been reported by U.S. and U.S. allied soldiers who served in the Persian Gulf War in 1990-1991.
