Probably doesn't help your Ellie but my DH was in the army - before the Gulf wars. He was part of a Regiment that "tested" all sorts of thgins, from equipment to effects on the body of gas! We have three children, one who has Rheumatoid Arthritis - diagnosed at 28, but suffered for a few years before that and suffers bouts of depression; the next one has dyslexia (diagnosed), dyspraxia (not yet diagnosed) and severe depression (maybe Bi-polar) and the youngest has dyspraxia, ASD and Bi-polar (all diagnosed). My DH has had health problems for years; he is insulin dependant Type 2 diabetic, has Crohns (sp?) disease and in remission (7 years and counting now) from cancer. His medical records from his time in the army "disappeared/were misplaced" between leaving the army and registering with a civvy GP (all of three weeks!!!).I really hope you are able to find some answers for Ellie, soon. It is the not knowing that's the worst, isn't it? Is there a support group? All the very best to you all. I wish I could help. Jude.xxx
