My husband is a GWV. I have known him for 6 years now. When we first met he was always sick with flu like symptoms. Four years ago he was tested for sleep apnea and found to have a mild case. In the last year he it seems to have gotten worse. He is always tired, he mentally gets lost and goes into this little world of his own, he has sudden severe headaches, he has a bad memory, is moody, and the list goes on and on. We have recently seen a private doctor and he is scheduled for a sleep study and has an appointment to see a nuerologist. We have been unsuccessful in any attempt to have a child, which I am learning could actually be a blessing. His doctor, as well as, my husband and I are looking into the possibility of GWS. All the information is overwhelming and frightening. He is only 32 years old. I have not had the experience of the VA yet, but the first question our family doctor asked is if he could be treated at the VA. Any advice or comments on this whole process would be very appreciated.
