Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)

The use of Cipro should be included. Its side effects mirror Gulf War Syndrome. Cipro was widely used in the Gulf War. Wythy (talk) 02:17, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Are there any reliable medical sources that discuss the possible connection between the two? -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:07, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

mtDNA study

As per WP:MEDRS we normally only include secondary sources for medical claims. This is a small single study, so we should really wait to see if it is replicated and picked up by a review. --sciencewatcher (talk) 05:15, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Page move

Following this edit with its well-explained rationale, I propose that the content on this page is moved to Gulf War illness, with this page becoming the redirect. What do other editors think? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:47, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

@Dom Kaos: I think it would be better if this went through a proper WP:RM process to gain community consensus. Nzd (talk) 23:41, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
That seems like a sensible way to progress my suggestion. See below ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 08:58, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 23 August 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) The Duke of Nonsense 19:33, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Gulf War syndrome → Gulf War illness – As per this edit summary, the US Institute of Medicine, National Airspace System and Department of Defence now use "illness" rather than "syndrome": I propose that the content on this page is moved to Gulf War illness, with the page Gulf War syndrome becoming the redirect ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 08:58, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.


Thanks to those who contributed to the above discussion. In light of the outcome, do people feel that the first line of the article should be reverted? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 19:55, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Yes, it should say something like "Gulf War syndrome, officially known as Gulf War illness..."ZXCVBNM (TALK) 07:28, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
checkY No objections so I've changed it. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 10:45, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

/* Persian Gulf War syndrome */

Persian Gulf War Syndrome (PGWS) or Persian Gulf War Illness (PGWI)

Persian Gulf is situated on the south of Iran.

The term of "The Gulf" is not a right name. Because each Geographic region has its own name. Hence, The Gulf War should be revised as The Persian Gulf War. All the terms belonging to the Persian Gulf should be named as the original name of the Persian Gulf.
