General Question For My Boyfriend Who Served In Iraq

[Vickym]

My bf suffers from ptsd and tbi. He served in Iraq form 2003 to 2005. He was injured when a car bomb went off when he was driving a humvee. My question is does anyone else that served in Iraq suffer from any of the following:

hands going cold
hands, legs and feet going numb
random fevers
head aches
pain in your side (yet nothing shows up during test)
feels cold and yet you are sweating
breaking out into a sweat for no reason(soaking sweat)
dizzy and light headed
rashes

These are just a few things that happen to him and the Va has no answers. He was just wondering if anyone else experiences any of this. He thinks it may have been a dirty bomb. Thanks to everyone that reads this.

Has he been tested for parasites? A lot of parasites can cause flu-like symptoms and other conditions. The middle east has many indigenous parasites as well. I know that troops going over there are usually prescribed anti-malarial drugs, but I am not sure if they are given prophylaxis for other parasites. Just a thought!
