Hi Berta,
Yes I am 70%IU, not permanent though. I was SC for my feet in 2001. Then fibro and bladder problem was SC'd in 2003 by denovo review. Although I did win bladder probem the first time around because it was so severe in the service. My reval to be considered permanent is June 08. The reason I wasn't declared permanent it said was because at the time I was going to Physical therapy for my feet and the denovo officer thought with allot of PT, I would get better to enter the workforce. Well here it is already 07, and I have gotten worse for wear, I have huge bone spurs now in my feet and this makes getting around difficult. I haven't asked for a wheelcair yet because of being afraid of the negative response from the doctor. I have two young children and don't participate in anything with them because of my pain. (outside the house that is). Even then it is a chore. I am just really depressed over my situation and I know I probably won't see any more monetary comp, but I would like to have it on the record that the pain is making me "crazy" and be service connected for it. My doc is my primary women's care specialist. I do see a shrink, but mostly to get my meds renewed every six months or so. No real therapy there. All the session is the doc says what can I do for you today and that's about it. Waste of time in my opinion. But at leasts it's in my record right?
