My PCM had scheduled a endoscopy and a colonoscopy. After the procedure I got diagnosed with chronic IDB, UC, and possibly crohns as well. That was this Thursday from a doctor in Germany. I’m on mesalamine 1.2g 3 pills a day. I also have to do one 4g/60ml mesalamine rectal suspension enema every...

Good evening, I had some old posts on here about a year ago asking about the MEB process because I was ALMOST about to start the MED board process because my Dr. put me on Renflaxin (immune suppressant). I was put on that medication because Mezalamine did not work. I convinced my Dr. to give...

Hi active duty 11b, 3 years now. I just recently this past week got diagnosed with UC and I’ve been reading through these threads looking for info on what the next steps and future looks like with what the army does with this condition and being on Humira, a immune suppressant. If anyone has...

Long story short. I have been facing digestive issues for many years now, but always been told I probably have hemerobiids due to rectal bleeding. Recently I had another colonoscopy with a new GI doctor, and she believe that I have IBD, either crohns or ulcerative colitis, but leaning towards...

Hello all, Like many I'm sure, an effort to find as much info as I can the Google brick road has led me here. 15+yrs service ( Army AD & Army NG) referred to the IDES/MEB process for UC. I was granted a CENTCOM waiver and deployed in Feb2020, just 50 days before re-deployment I had a minor...

Hello, I just received word today about my MEB starting. I was disqualified for continued military service during the IRILO stage. I was given an LOD for my Ulcerative Colitis and Major Depressive Disorder while on active duty orders (I'm a Reservist). I am currently taking Remicade (for my...

Hey I’ve been in the AF Reserve for nearly two years. My first year and a half was spent on active orders. During this I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, symptoms started several months after being in. I am now on Remicade and have a LOD for my UC (and my depression caused by it). My...

Good evening. I've been in the Army going on 10 years and was hoping to get promoted before an MEB was initiated on me. I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Pancolitis since Summer 2018 while I was PCSing to my next duty station. While on PCS leave I developed Pancreatitis from complications...

Just got my ratings today. It feels like it has been a long process, but the actual MEB/PEB went pretty quickly. My unfitting condition is Crohn's Disease, so if anyone has any questions about the process from an IBD perspective, please let me know. At times it felt like my PEBLOs were not...

We got our UNFIT ratings today. My husband is NOT HAPPY. He is an MMN and has been in this whole limbo process since January 2015. We sent off his PEB packet in February. For ulcerative colitis and UC-related arthritis my husband received 10%, plus a severance for his separation. On the VA...
