[Mention Of Gwi Still Makes Doctors Eyes Roll....]

I feel your pain...For the past 22 years I have been getting the speech from the military docs.

I was Dxd in Feb with Multiple Sclerosis. I got tired of all of the gallons of body fluids that were taken only to be returned with "your levels are absolutely perfect". Here is some motrin, come back if it gets worse. I got fed up and requested to see a neuro. Started off with a test for Carpel Tunnel Syndrone, which I was Dxd for long ago by mil-docs. I don't have CTS. Went to get an MRI which showed all of the scarring in my mellon. I asked the neuro anout GWS and I got the same eye roll.

I went for my initial C&P exam and mentioned GWS after I gave the list of issues I was having, no eye roll...first time. He actually agreed with me that it should be looked into more than it is.

WOW indeed.
