Over 6 years TIS, army and I ets in 6 mos.
Been on a permanent profile for my knee for years, temp profile for my hand for almost a year now (around 40 days short of a year), diagnosed with adjustment disorder with depression and bpd and going through counseling and treatment for 5 mos now continuously, however I had been seeing a counselor for treatment off and on for years and was taking medication for a while as well before these last 5 mos began.
Im aviation and am not able to perform my duties according to regulations concerning mental health and medication and because of my hand injury making it so I cannot lift nor do maintenance. I'm non- deployable due to suicide attempt and hospitalization.i was just diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and will be receiving a CPAP machine soon. I just went to the doc to ask about potentially starting the process. He wanted to go through treatment first. I've been through physical therapy before for my knee issues and occupational therapy for my hand but neither have shown signs of improvement but he wants me to do these again. The knee pain has gotten worse and my hand is getting worse as well even with the brace from my OT. I am having surgery done to fix my cubital tunnel syndrome in the next month as well.
This is becoming frustrating and I have no idea how to go about trying to push more for a MEB to start if these aren't enough. I am having my ncos and plt sgt write up counseling statements to show that I am not making anything up regarding not being able to perform my aviation duties and I've been told that I should've at least had the hand problem pushed to a permanent profile. Any suggestions on what steps I should be taking if any?
