Joyce B

My name is Joyce B and I lived at 542 Utah & worked (AFB Commissary) on George AFB from 1985 to 1987 with my enlisted husband & two boys.  I divorced my husband & remarried.  Became pregnant in Sept 1988 and was employed on base as a Civil Servant working for Civil Engineering until April 1989.  I also lived in base housing while I was pregnant with my daughter.  My daughter was born in May 1989.

Since she was a young child she has suffered from ear infections, UTI’s, bladder infections & kidney infections.  She also has issues with her periods that are so depilating – vomiting leading to dehydration, intense pain and passes huge blood clots, this continues through adulthood.  As an adult, she has had kidney stones requiring surgery, two ovarian cysts, a cyst the size of a baseball surgically removed from her tailbone  She recently was diagnosed with severe anxiety & depression and has a medicinal marijuana card to control that.  She’s been unable to hold a job due to all these issues.  We haven’t tested her for Asperger’s or autism – but she is very smart but unable to communicate socially with others.  She tried living on her own & could not manage finances or hold a job.  She currently has been living back at home with me for the past 3 years helping her navigate all these issues – she is now 29 years old.  My family & I are struggling to understand why all these issues with no family history.  But now this has come out about George AFB concerns me.

 

I am not a doctor, Veterans Service Officer (VSO), or attorney; therefore, I cannot provide medical or legal advice.
