Got my decision letter today on my reopened chronic fatigue. I have attached the decision letter and would really appreciate if someone that knows better than me can help. I sent a DBQ from my urologist, and have been receiving treatment from the Dallas VA for the symptoms for over eight months so I am very confused with their decision. Thanks for any insight you can give. I served in the first Gulf War and I 50% disability for Fibro ans sinus issues jason008.pdf jason007.pdf

I was in the SWA during the 1st Gulf War and I would appreciate any help you have to offer.

I went through the "puzzle, piece by piece" starting in '08. In Dec. of this year my primary care Dr. finally referred me to a Rheumatologist and after reviewing my private med. history and doing a bunch of blood work he officially diagnosed me with Fibro. I am a pain med. addict (recovering, and clean for 7 years now) so I had the Rheumatologist rule out the pain meds right off the bat. I did the Gabapentin, it didn't work at all except to add to my lack of mental focus and add a new level of headaches. Now I am only taking 2000 IUs of vitamin d and 1000 mg of magnesium, and to be honest it kicks ass. This treatment really moderates my "normal" daily pain and drops the pain level from 4s and 5s down to 2s and 3s, but does absolutely nothing for levels over 5. Again I will not take any narcotics so I have to suffer the bad flare-ups and like most of you all, cold and/or wet weather and lack of sleep seem to set those off. I haven't applied for disability yet because it hurts my brain (to much information and I tend to obsess over details) but I am working on it. My biggest battle now is getting a Dr. to help with my sleep issues because neither my primary or my Rheumatologist want to treat me for it and both have referred me to a Psychologist but my insurance won't cover it and I ain't made of money ($249.00 for an office visit). I had a really bad flare up last week because of lack of sleep and went to my primary Dr. and literally begged her to give me some Ambian or anything else to help me sleep but she wouldn't. OBTW, my primary Dr. put me on Vyvanse, 50 mg. 1 once a day to help with the "fibro fog" issue and it really, really helps.
