GWS was identified as the results of many different issues with varied causes and effects, most of which can be attributed to getting older.No doubt there were many who suffered from this but there were also many who did not and also some that jumped on the bandwagon because others were already there.There is no one single cause and most who were truly effected were found to have been exposed to multiple possible causes.I, like Dina, am lucky in that I came away with no symptoms that couldn't be attributed to being a bit older.

The VA has just put out a report on this. It's findings are that GWS is a result of low doses of possibly sarin gas and other environmental issues. The estimate from the VA, is that somewhere between 150,000 to 200,000 have this problem. But they emphasized that it would take much more research before they know what to do to help these veterans. (Like, well after their deaths!)
