La Quinta man struggles with disease that has redefined him

La Quinta man struggles with disease that has redefined him

Some research links MS with military service.

An advisory committee commissioned by the VA recommended further research about the potential link between combat service and MS.

Congress has allocated nearly $10 million for MS research under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs at the Department of Defense.

But for now, the causes of MS remain a mystery. Eisler isn't as quick to link it to his service time as his wife is.

“I have no idea,” Eisler said. “Agent Orange — but yet there's a lot of people that got subjected to Agent Orange. They're not walking around with MS.”
