Army veteran’s illness remains mystery

By Greg Barnes
Staff writer

The words come out in sputters, the halting, deliberate speech of a woman suffering from brain damage.

“I … wasn’t … like … this … before.”

It’s Sherrie McGahee’s dismissal of a report released last month saying there is no mystery illness known as Gulf War syndrome.

McGahee’s illness mimics the symptoms of muscular sclerosis. Her body shakes. She can no longer walk. Fatigue causes her to take frequent naps. She suffers from depression.

Before she went to war in the Persian Gulf, Army Sgt. McGahee ran a marathon to show the troops she led that — even though she was in her 30s — she could still compete.
