Hi all my husband was in the Gulf War in 1991 and we have all heard about Gulf War syndrome. I was diagnosed with RA and my son shortly after me about 4 and 3 years ago. I showed symptoms of pain many years before that. I found a link somewhere on the board that led me to a bacterial infection, one that has been passed to other family members from returning Gulf Vets.

The bacteria is called mycoplasma Fermentans. I know the roadback.org talks alot about antibiotic therapy and RA any info would be helpful thanks Chris
