dioxin and rheumatoid arthritis

by jrfrog, Nov 17, 2008 10:52AM
Dear Dr Kevin
On Feb 07, 2006 12:00AM, you answered a question regarding the link between dioxin (Agent Orange) and rheumatoid arthritis. You make mention of some studies done in this area. Could you share with me what those studies are and where I might find them? Also, being a two year old question, is there any new information in this area that you know of?

     Thanks you very much for your assistance.

Hi,  I am not sure where you read Dr. Kevin's post, but I have not seen him in this forum.  You may want to try the Ask a doctor forum.  It is on the right hand side of the forums main page.

I had exposure to dioxin infiltration, RA visited me at the age of 32. I am not sure if there were studies done in this area, however, if this toxin causes one autoimmune disease, it can surely cause others as I am finding out. I have other medical issues concerning agent orange. I would apply, they can only turn you down, and then you may have a better chance on appeal.
