This information might be helpful to people who suffer from allergic rhinitis and have problems sleeping, or potentially have sleep apnea. Case studies from the National Institute of Health web site: People who suffer from allergic rhinitis are more likely to suffer from various types of sleep impairments. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16983053 Rhinitis (allergic or non-allergic) is a high risk factor for sleep apnea.

Inactive Ready Reserve And Service-connection
Some soldiers joined the military and, for example, served 4 years on active duty and 4 years in the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR). Basically, soldiers in the IRR do not get paid, do not attend reserve drills, but are subject to being called to active duty just like regular reservists.

hypertension What's Pyramiding, And Why Is It Bad?
Went to a new VSO yesterday and frankly, I wasn't impressed. I have a claim in for increase in a condition I've had for 20+ years plus new problems as secondary, and for PTSD from events 20+ years ago as well. The physical issues have been evaluated. From the reports, the increase has been determined to be related to the SC, so yay for that :D. One of the other issues that I was claiming secondary was called "at least as likely as not" and the other was called "not related to". This one I'm working on getting a nexus written by a private doctor, and I'm going through Physical Therapy (ordered by the VA doc). We'll see what happens with that. So I was explaining …

ptsd Change In Diagnosis
I am currently receiving 80% s/c. 50% is for the major depression disorder. I filled for a notice of disagreement through the DAV to the DRO holding my file. I felt like the decision for the depression was not high enough because of my symptoms and that I have had a hospital stay during this filling with the VA. Since my stay at the Hospital I have been diagnosed with Bipolar and PTSD. should I send this information in to the DRO?
