It's nice to finally have answers to these questions we've had for so long about Gulf War Illness. I hope there are answers for the people who were in the same area after 2003. #MECFS #GulfWarIllness

#gulfwarillness research showed improvement in migraines/ headaches by avoiding glutamate. I think this likely applies to #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis as well.
I get horrendous headaches from Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).

In fact, I’ve written about Gulf War Illness a bit and why it’s so incredibly ridiculous that it took us so long to get here (that’s me, back row on the right)

News Release 11-Sep-2025 New diagnostic code for Gulf War illness marks major step forward for veteran care and research Official recognition will support better diagnosis, treatment and understanding of Gulf War illness Reports and Proceedings University of California - San Diego FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail Gulf War illness (GWI), the chronic, debilitating condition linked to military service in the 1990-1991 Gulf War, will receive a dedicated diagnostic code in the October 2025 release of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10-CM). The new code is being hailed as a major step forward by veterans with GWI, and by health care providers and scientists with expertise in the condition. “This is more than just a code,” said Beatrice Golomb, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, who led the successful ICD code submission. Golomb, who has conducted numerous studies on GWI over the past three decades and has contributed materially to understanding of exposure relations, illness features, objective markers, underlying mechanisms and treatments targeting these mechanisms. “This is long-overdue validation for the suffering of the quarter-million afflicted veterans — and a formal acknowledgment that their illness is real, physical and service-related.”

"New diagnostic code for Gulf War illness marks major step forward for veteran care and research: Official recognition will support better diagnosis, treatment and understanding of Gulf War illness"

CMI = chronic multisymptom illnesses
Highlights from abstract:
They looked at 6 people with #LongCovid, 6 with #MECFS and 2 with #GulfWarIllness
They found neuroinflammation in both PET scans, 1 week before exercise and the 2nd one day after exercise.
Inflammation was diffuse across the brain.

I'm lucky in Maryland
Both Sen Alsobrooks & Sen Van Hollen supported restoring CDMRP funding. This is vital, unique, non-duplicative research that has #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis, #LongCovid, & #GulfWarIllness amongst its PRMRP topic areas

Man in camouflage uniform in clinical setting looking down. Captions: ATTENDING TO VETERANS' MENTAL HEALTH. Between 2010 and 2021, more than 78K veterans died by suicide.
A recent VA-funded study co-authored by Duke Psychiatry researchers found that veterans with #GulfWarIllness (#GWI) are far more likely to report suicidal ideation & behaviors than those who don’t have GWI. The team recommends routine screening of this cohort. ow.ly/1O2q50VLnjV

Hello world! We are being toxic exposed in our food/water/products with the same toxins that made us #desertstorm #gulfwarillness #veterans sick. #MAHA
I have no association with any party or politiican they are all corrupt and lying to us but I am cheering on #RFKjr in hopefully changing shit!

Glorious news! It looks like Simon Wessely may finally be exposed. There is a documentary on the Gulf War Scandal in the offing. Follow either of these accounts in the other place for updates.

RECLAIM Initiative at the Sluss Lab: Researching Chronic Condition Linkages And Integrative Mechanisms At the Sluss Lab at UMass Chan Medical School, the RECLAIM initiative is focused on exploring the underlying mechanisms of understudied chronic conditions. As part of RECLAIM, Dr. Sluss is investigating how oxidative stress influences chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), ME/CFS, and other infection-associated chronic conditions and illnesses (IACCIs.) Dr. Sluss, an expert in oxidative stress, also has lived experience with seeing the devastation and multi-morbid nature of these diseases, having a child with ME/CFS, hypermobile EDS, and orthostatic intolerance. RECLAIM is recruiting participants — adults and children aged 12-17 — who self-report with ME/CFS, Long COVID, or other IACCIs. Adult study participants can expect three 30-minute in-person visits, and child participants will have two in-person visits with the option to join a follow-up study. Contact Dr. Sl

A quick update from the lab. A large remote clinical trial grant we proposed for funding was rejected. This study was on low-dose naltrexone (LDN) and cannabidiol (CBD) for Gulf War Illness treatment. If you want to hear a bit about how I feel about rejected grants and how I handle them, check out the video. While this news is disappointing, we fortunately have more accepted grants than rejected ones, and this is just part of the highly competitive process. - Jarred Younger

008 - An important change from local to remote clinical trials Neuroinflammation, Pain, and Fatigue Lab at UAB 4.78K subscribers Subscribe 85 Share Download Save 2,049 views 18 Mar 2024 BIRMINGHAM Here's a brief update on my recent shift from traditional clinical trials to remote clinical trials in which individuals can participate from anywhere in the United States. I already have an ongoing remote trial for Gulf War Illness and hope to expand to fibromyalgia, Long-COVID, and ME/CFS. This remote approach is not common, but is being embraced by an increasing number of labs. I am excited that this change will give people the opportunity to participate who never could before. - Jarred Younger I have only one remote trial right now, and that is for Gulf War Illness. The link for that study is: https://sites.uab.edu/younger/gwi/
New video where Jarred Younger PhD says he is moving from local to remote clinical trials [within the US].
