I think there should be a better way to recover your name or pass word. But that over I am here now and so glad to be back

    What is freaking out so bad.

    Is it that he is probably Vietnamese ?

    Have you been seeing him very long ?

    Do you want to change providers ?

    Yes Carlie it is freaking me out, you ask why, it because I have flash back when I was in country, and that I may have killed one of his relatives, and I have been telling him all my problems. AND YES because he is Vietnamese. I been seeing him for about a year, but last session he exposed this to me. And yes I want to change Dr. Do you see a problem here? if so please explain to me. Thanks for your questions

    I need help here. I was seeing my psychiatrist. Dr. and he told me he just got back from Viet Nam. He said he went to see his family. Now I knew he wasn't and white or black as he had oriental features. But this just floored me. He also said he was from Cu Ci, and that he and his sister went to visit the tunnel under the base camp of Cu Ci. Hell that was where I was station with 25 INF and the 38th ISDP and I have so many bad memories of that place, and other events is why I have PTSD. I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHAT TO DO this has freaked me out, can anyone give direction on what I can do.

    thanks

    Questions About Ptsd Diagnosis

    I agree with both of you, John and free spirit, I remember when I got home from Viet Nam, my wife at the time made a statement that has been with me for years,,"" YOUR AREN'T THE PERSON you once was. I did not under stand what she was talking about. I came home safe, not war wound that was visible. Little did I know what was going on in my brain, or why I was still thinking about the time in the jungle what I saw and did. It wasn't until a few years ago I was told I had PTSD. My response was what? What is that. The army just discharged me and others without even telling us what we need to do. We was left on our on. Now they want to know why we waiting so long, well why did the Army wait so long to inform us?

    thanks stillhere, I got 50% without being on any pills, but the PTSD got worst, so the Dr. put me on the pills. I was thinking ( I know I shouldn't), but , since I was put on a regiments of sleeping and anxiety and depression pills I should put in for an increase. So that what I did. Now dang it, I am getting more depress since I may loose what I have been fighting for with the VA. This such a vicious circle. damn it you do and damn if you don't.

    thanks friends

    To all my friends and veterans I need an answer. I went to the my psychiatrist this morning and I was asked it the sleeping pills was working, answer yes sleeping 6-7 hours a night, was 4-5. He also asked it the ventlafaxine for my anxiety. I said seem to be working. kinder relax more only a few out burst with wife. I asked if he would fill out a DBQ , HE SAID YES BUT DID NOR HAVE TIME. I told him that I have put in for a increase of my rating..... Now here what got me. He said I could actually be lowered due to the medications are working. I told him still have the problems and with the medication it only suppress them. GET this he said he was not a RO just a Dr. I upset now I don't know which way to turn, can I lose my 50% rating?

    thanks,

    Unemployability With 70% Overall Rating

    I AGREE with the others, you will not get it if you don't apply. I am 70% total with 50 %PTSD, 20% per ear hearing loss,10% for tinnitus. I was turned down for SSDI due to the fact I have not worked in the 5 year range that they cut you off. I was hoping with 50% PTSD I could get it, but then they said I make to much money.. isn't the government great working with. But do apply for it

    Hypertension Exam

    in Veterans Compensation & Pension Exams

    Posted

    I just got my VA Dr. to fill out the DBQ, she was really nice about it to. She is the Dr. who first notice I had Hypertension and HBP. She also the one who put me on the meds. I went to my psychologist and asked him to do the same (DBQ) for my MH. He said no, it would take him 3 hours to do it. But he did tell me to ask for all my MH records and that would be better than a DBQ. So I have done that. Now just waiting on them to come. I have been rated for hypertension but got (0) rating so for. Next month I go to my psychiatrist and I will ask him to fill out his DBQ for me, now just waiting on time.
