It was 1981 when officials first said there could be a problem with the water at Camp Lejeune. They found a metal degreaser and a fuel compound in that water - the same water service members and their families used to cook, wash and drink.
Diana White now lives in Madison Heights, but she lived at Camp Lejeune as an infant and has fought for years to try to get her medical bills covered. Now, a new law is giving her hope.
In 2000, doctors diagnosed Diana White with Multiple Sclerosis. MS gives her pain in her hands, arms even eyes. No one in her family has MS, and she blames Camp Lejeune.
"It's disgusting because they destroyed me when I was still in my mom's womb. And they knew it," said White.
White's dad was a Marine. Her family lived on the base and drank the water.
"You bathed in it, you drank it, you washed in it," said White.

My wife also has MS and her dad was stationed at Camp Lejeune during the years of exposure. The report states that MS is inconclusive but we are certain there is a connection.

It is possible. There are a lot of contaminated bases that are just now being studied seriously. Reports about Camp Lejeune have been out for a couple of years now. I suggest you or your wife contact your member of Congress.
