What Does GWS Stand For?
GWS stands for Gulf War Syndrome
Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) refers to a collection of unexplained physical and mental health problems reported by veterans of the Gulf War, which took place from 1990 to 1991. Symptoms commonly associated with GWS include chronic fatigue, muscle pain, cognitive difficulties, and respiratory issues. The condition remains the subject of ongoing research to determine its causes, which may include exposure to certain chemicals, infectious agents, and the stress of combat. Efforts are being made to understand and address the health needs of affected individuals.
