Problems

[catman]

Just wondering how many other Gulf Vets are starting to have problems again, with things heating up over there. Have noticed myself becoming very grouchy and starting to withdrawl again. Short with the kids and my wife also. Anybody else? Any suggestions?

Good Morning Catman,

I'm sorry to read you are having difficulties. I'm not familiar with your background, in terms of any war related health condition, but I hope it isn't too serious.
