Berta,
Not sure what SMRs are. This was my C&P exam for sinusitus. I claimed sinusitus because that is what my military medical exams stated. When I went in for my claim exam for sinusitus and they took xrays and such the doc stated I had Cartilagenous anterior nasal septum deviated to the right and allergic rhinitis caused by military service. My earlier post is the exact write up from my exam.
The VA denied my sinusitus because I only had one flare up in 2001 so it is not chronic. I didn't know what sinusitus was and didn't care. I only wanted to breath. I would have claimed allergic rhinitis if I new I had it or the blockage of my septum. It was noted in my C&P so I am hoping that I can claim it. I could only claim what was in my records since I am not a doctor. If you have any words of advice I would truly appreciate it.
Also, I have ben given allegra, flonase and pseudephedrine for now I am on claritan, nasonex and another pill. I know this is going to be an onging issue so it would be nice to get compensated because I never had allegies until after being stationed in Korea.
