    Is your PEBLO keeping you advised? They are usually the one's who reach out for the CC letter.

    PEB Results - No Action Taken

    I might also add, thanks to my cardiologist letter tying diabetes, sleep apnea and heart disease together, they found the diabetes and sleep apnea unfitting as well which helped me out tremendously.

    PEB Results - No Action Taken

    Thanks. Honestly, the most I expected was possible was 70 but when the PEBLO said 75 I had to clarify...LOL. It was truly a blessing. I was blessed with a son in mid-life who had 6 surgeries during the first 5 years of his life. So to be able to keep Tricare is the biggest blessing. The 75% is...

    VA rounds to the nearest 0. AF gives in increments of 10 up to 70 but also will give 75 in some cases as 75 is the most a person would get who served a full 30 year career. All of my unfitting conditions added up to 90% but 75% is the most the AF will give. It's arrived at like this. 30 years of...

    NARSUM on 2/13 / heart bypass among other things

    UPDATE: I have finally been found medically unfit. Also, my commander wrote a very good letter detailing all my medical issues and how they have impacted my ability to function and readiness issues. He recommended medical retirement. My package is at step 6 now, awaiting VA ratings assignment...

    NARSUM on 2/13 / heart bypass among other things

    PEB Results - No Action Taken

    The neurologist I'm seeing now says he will send me to Mayo in Jacksonville for a definitive diagnosis. Apparently they have some fancy needle up there or something that's the size of a muscle cell that they insert into the muscle cell and do with it whatever it is they do and you either have it...

    PEB Results - No Action Taken

    Does anyone out there have an example of a prognosis letter from a civilian physician? The PEBLO has asked me to get one from my cardiologist as to my prognosis following my recent open heart bypass surgery. I will see him soon. I want him to stay away from words like "good" or "excellent". I am...

    It Just Keeps Getting Better: Open Heart Surgery

    If you've been following my other thread you know I've been on a medical hold pending separation while the Air Force tries to determine what is going on with me neurologically speaking. I was referred for an MEB last year which was kicked back without action as it appeared to the PEB folks I was...

    PEB Results - No Action Taken

    The journey continues. My RILO is due for my sleep apnea. My PCM has referred me for another sleep study. PEBLO says I'll need a score of 16 or higher for it to help me when my case goes back before the PEB. I think my score may have been 12 last time. But I have added some more weight since...

    Thanks. The small fiber neuropathy is, I think, considered autonomic. I'm having a sleep deprived EEG in the morning for my on again off again maybe I have a seizure disorder going on too. I've had 2 abnormal 20 minute EEGs but all my 72 hour EEGs have been normal. I have a new neurologist now...

    PEB Results - No Action Taken

    I was extended for 6 months on a medical hold through 31 January 2017. As you can see in my signature, I've had some additional testing and started seeing a new neurologist. The new neurologist does not feel my symptoms are indicative of MS. He has tentatively diagnosed me with Myasthenia...

    PEB Results - No Action Taken

    I have 10 years towards retirement plus an additional 3 years in the reserves prior to AD. I am told I am seeing the best neurologist in the area. He is Mayo trained and seems to me to know his stuff but this has also been a long process. I've been seeing him for almost a year. We are, however...

    Jason -- First of all, sorry for the delay. I've been disgusted by the whole thing and getting anywhere seems to be like spinning tires in the mud. To clarify my original post, I was being boarded for the following: 1. Other Idiopathic Peripheral Autonomic Neuropathy. 2. Obstructive Sleep...

    PEB Results - No Action Taken

    As stated in other post, I have been dealing with various neurological issues for nearly 2 years now. I have been under the care of a local neurologist for quite some time who has already diagnosed me with small fiber neuropathy which is worsening and is leaning towards a diagnosis of MS due to...

    Referred for MEB for Small Fiber Neuropathy

    Thanks for the reply. Regarding the hand, it is not constant. And the fact I have sensory neuropathy symptoms gives me some hope it's not ALS. I have been to the ALS forums just to read. I haven't done any posting and probably won't. I will check out that video, however. I'm curious to find out...
