Cheryl,
I was in Viet Nam1966-1967. I have been suffering with Chronic Kidney Stone disease for over forty years. I have had one bilateral shut down (given last rites) because they didn't know if my kidneys would function again) many blockages of the left kidney as recently as last year, five rounds of lithotripsey, laser surgery, and have been taking 1080mg of potassium citrate, allopurinol, watching my diet and going for X-Rays, sonograms of the kidney's and bladder a few times a year to try and prevent the blockages. for years. I was told not to bother applying for service connection because the VA will deny agent orange caused them. No one in my family has ever had this problem so it is not hereditary. I know what your husband is going through.
