Here is a site dedicated to Gulf War Veterans having GWI. They are treating you for FMS symptoms, but not addressing the cause. I hope you can find some information that will assist you in getting the treatment you deserve.
I thank you for your service and your sacrifices and am so sorry that you returned only to be effected by this illness.
Please take care and God bless.
Welcome to our forum ! Sleeping problems are common in both CFS and fibromyalgia patients. I'm glad you are here because Dr. Klimas, a world renowned expert in CFS, recently told the Miami Herald that they plan on doing studies to "see if there's a difference between Gulf War Illness and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome."

How are they treating your Gulf War Syndrome ? Are you on antibiotics for mycoplasma infection ?
Welcome aboard and thank you for serving our country. I am sorry to hear that you are ill though and hope that you stick around.
I've never been in the military but I have fibro and I basically can't sleep without taking anything either due to the pain and discomfort.
I'm on Cymbalta for the fibro as well as depression but it isn't helping. I can not sleep at night at all but sleep better in the daytime ocassionally. I can't keep going like this I know that much!
You aren't alone in your misery...
P.S. Just want to thank you for your service to our country. :)
