Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hi every one . I was a flight attendant for 20 years those were the days when you as flight crew walked out on to the tarmack to get to the aircraft. I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE SMELL OF AIRCRAFT FUEL I SORT OF LIKED IT. My ms symptoms started with eye problems that went away in a couple of months so i was able to keep flying. It was a couple of years after that i had appendx problems called rumbling appendx syptoms would come and go. When things came to a head i had to wait 8 hours befor they could operate i was on morphine until they could operate by the time the surgen operated gangerine had set in. severe ms started 6 months after that. many airline personnel develope brain tumers and alzhimers related or not i think so carol bc canada Akiba wrote: Huh. My dad was a Military pilot as well, I also was raised on base for a lot of my childhood...we lived in a Quonset hut at the end of the runway at one place when I was very little. He is passed now, he didn't live long enough to get Alzheimers, the booze did him in before that, he *did* have a brain tumor and I know my mother was operated on for one a few years back. HHHHmmmmm......

I grew up on air force bases, Dad was a pilot.(he flew the SR-71 among many planes for 33 years). My best friend is a pathologist now but she also grew up on air force bases.Now she is an army doctor at Walter in DC. She knows I have MS .My dad had Parkinson's , hers has Alzheimer's, and she sees people and statistics all day, every day, about military personnel and health problems.She sold me several times that it is more than just a gut feeling she has, that MS and other neurological diseases-which are on the uprise, practically reaching epidemic proportions- especially among military people --have got to be environmentally related. She has remarked several times to me that she wonders if it has something to do with living on bases. Now after reading these comments about petroleum, airports, etc, it really makes me wonder too. Military people are never far away from big machinery-planes, etc. And I regret how much I always liked the smell of gasoline when I was a kid. Maybe lingering longer at the e gas pump when my parents would get gas in the car was much worse than anyone knew?

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi Wensu -I'll do my best to help on this; a pretty poor offer I know, but I'm cautious about my health at the moment. I have a basic understanding of research methods and stats, but I'm rusty.
