Thank you, Hoppy and Bertha for your help. As for my thyroid, I was diagnosed by the VA hospital 17 months after my discharged from active duty. But my so-call medical doctor stated that I had the multinodulars for awhile even during my active duty, but yet yesterday, he told me he won't fight with the VA. He won't even write the nexus letter with his opinion. His reason, is he doesn't have the time or the staff to go over the paperworks. Wow! I'm was in total shock and upset with this. Now, I'm wondering where to go from here. As for my breathing, I've been taking two inhalers prescribed by VA doctors and my primary doctor for my shortness of breath, in which in my records it states after my PT run, I had a breathing problems, and the military doctor stated, "particulate in air" and yet I got 0% and not service connected. I filed a NOD and now I'm trying to gather all my medical evidence so I could mail it out by Monday (if possible). I got 10% for migraines.

Anyone who was stationed in Kabul Afghanistan had problems with thyroid and breathing problems? Right after I got back from Kabul, I developed a thyroid problem. No blood or lab were done. So I have a problem proving it. I have all my documents stating I was healthy, but one problem, the Navy never did a TSH test before I left to afghanistan and when I came back. The only thing I could prove is my immediate medical changes right after I got back. Then someone email me information stating about the air quality and burn pits could be the cause of my problem. So how do I prove this? And how it's connected to my condition? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you all..
