Thanks for all of your reply's. I appreciate them all
My family tried to get me medical treatment at the time I was diagnosed with agent orange. My dads dr died shortly after fling his opinion to treat my Dad and continue testing on his children (me)
i have already been tested and deemed a carrier of agent orange. I have already been deemed a health risk of those test
every test my DR performs is deemed obsolete by someone, who won't allow further testing to diagnose my medical problems.
So even if I trusted my DR. His hands are tied on how he can treat me
I may have misspoke being a carrier

Not doubting your claim and sorry for the sistuation you find yourself in.
If your able to explain could you please elaborate on how your a “carrier” of agent orange. How it was passed on to you and how old you are? If your unwilling or unable that’s fine too.

Hmmm, my dad was in Vietnam stationed at various bases for communication equipment. He said they sprayed that stuff everywhere to move the vegetation back away from the perimeter. He goes in to the doctor every 4-6 months to have cancerous tumors removed from his face and neck, where he received the most exposure.
He never mentioned anything about it being contagious. I think the real harm was simply through exposure to the chemical. I was born after he was exposed to that chemical and I have never had any issues from it that I am aware.
Are you sure it is contagious and can be passed to offspring?

I'm dying.
I have severe osteoporosis as well as some kind of unidentified condition that is literally causing my body to die and rot inside.
I post this to ask anyone of knowledge of Agent Orange if they know of anyone of similar circumstances?
I was diagnosed once with agent orange but then my state killed me off, ss killed me off, and I have struggled with my identity ever sense.
I still cannot register a vehicle because the federal govt doesn't recognize me.
and now myhealth problems are a serious problem
no one in my family knows. I was diagnosed with agent orange as is supposed to carry to next of kin. but my dr's dont' know what is wrong with me, and the specialist they sent me to gave me 2-5 years. But no one can tell me why. I'm not even trying to claim nefarious crap, I would just like a chance of life, but for all intent and purpose it is now to be mine.

My dad was exposed in Vietnam and now has Parkinson’s. The VA recognizes the disease as a result of the exposure to Agent Orange and he receives benefits from the VA.
He was told by a physician that any of his offspring conceived after he was exposed should be tested for certain health issues, especially anything to do with reproduction.
That left me home free but my younger sibling not.
