Jason, just FYI, I continue to fight my battle with MH eval that was never giving when my DOS was over 3 Nov 08. I have written Secretary of the VA and I now have MH eval scheduled which is good news for me. I aslo just three days ago received a phone call from COMP & PEN who called to tell me...

This is a perfect example of why I posted this question. This was sent to my mental health POC at my base so I would be able to prove they were aware of this treatment. This was in excess of over 10 years on four occasions and with severity. This is very small sample and not the worst by any...

Could a prolonged and multiple instances of unprofessional/hostile working environment or extreme nature be linked to PSTD or is that only for war zone type conditions?

I met board in Jul 08 and at that time since they just started in Feb 08, it was not submitted and I was boarded for sleep apnea and GERD/Anxiety.

It is hepful info! I have seen a neurologist and they just say it's nothing but white spots and it's not MS. I was glad to hear it's not MS but still wanted to know what it is. I did meet the MEB board last year in Jul and at that time the migrains was not submitted but rather my sleep anpea...

Need comments from those who know best... you! Feb 2008, 1 year ago. I had been serving under a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety and truely thought I would have a stoke and wanted to hurt some people.. it was that bad and basically a unprofessional working environment for many years. From...

No worries... still got to paths to take! Do you still have my number?

Sounds good Jason!

Well, as we had spoke about representation before I went and thought it would be best to try to allow the system to work and in hopes I had a good military lawyer... I had a good lawyer. He quoted the exact reasons that my two initial ratings were to be raised by the VA Schedule of Rating Book...

Jason, basically I was very disapointed and from the VA book that my lawyer showed me the chronic stomach issues should have been not 30% but 60% and met the criteria from my medical conditions and the anxeity and depression was at 10% and should have been at 30% and of course they made the same...

Well, I flew to Lankland AFB for my formal board and was briefed tuesday morning with a small group of others. I was told they have a fair and just system now that they have a new Colonel and indicated it has not always been that way. In processed and Wednesday I met with what was called prep...

Jason, I was to use this in regards to those that are around me in my civilian life and know the impact of my nerveous conditions at home in regards to my family. It's basically to reaffirm the seriousness of my condition and how for many years I've been building this nervous condition that is...

Does anyone have a format that would be used for a character type witness to submit on your behalf? I assume there would be specific format and my PEBLO is out of pocket at the moment or I'd ask him. Thanks...

Just a quick update. As stated in previous post I was put in for a referral at Denver University. However, it turned out it was to be at Evans Army Hospital and as I indicated to TRICARE when they called "the referral was put to Denver for a reason" Lesions on the brain is no joke and some of...

Amber, welcome to the board! You stated you have back pain since your spinal tap. How long has it been? I had one done as well and was told to get dressed only 5 minutes after the procedure. I hurt like you would not believe only a few hours later. By the next day I lost about 60% of my hearing...

Thanks Rob, great info right there! Met with my doctor today and he wanted to go over what had been done and all results revealed no MS of course. He said maybe the lesions could be from Cholestrol or maybe even a prior stroke. Now, I'm the one that wants a difinitive diagnosis and...

As I suspected my doctor called Friday and i feel it was only becuase I had emailed the SW commander with my concerns of taking for ever or since 14 Mar 08 and still noting going and the drag their feet syndrom was what was on order to get me to the board without a diagnosis. Well, the doctor...

Update, intervention with the SW Commander is a no go! My Chief continues to tell me there is no difinitive diagnosis therefore they can go forward. I have passed out twice over the past few months even prior to knowing I have the lesions on my brain and possible MS. As well some serious...

Perfect. I as well have an Army Officer next door and wife work local hospital and has a doctor ready to assist and I may pay an office visit but can provide all info we have at this time to get a diagnosis to take to the formal board if these guys do not do their job as they should. Very good...

Thanks Jason. when I met with the DAV just this past week he indicated immediately "you have MS"! I said they were working on it for a final diagnosis... he said, records shows MS and I'm putting it down for the VA as a rating. I felt then the base then must know I have it. So, today when I...
