All- I am about at my wits end with the VA. In DEC 2014 I started complaining of a litany of symptoms from mental to physical. I went from being pretty normal in DEC to having to have a cane for balance by April among a lot of other things. The VA is beating around the bush and saying I might have Gulf War Illness but other than sending me to a neurologist have done very little else. I have requested to see an Infectious Disease doctor and an fMRI/PET scan- and both have been denied. My VA primary care doctor tells me he has no idea what is going on but will not admit this to higher authority at the VA.
I am now willing to pay out of pocket to see a civilian doctor, I am just not exactly sure which type of specialist to see.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
