I appreciate your response. I feel like I might be facing an uphill battle which is fine. I was diagnosed with Lupus after getting out. By a civilian doctor. I got into the VA system late in 2014. February 2015, I woke up and couldn't move my left side. I struggled throughout the years but just pushed myself. I had a few episodes while overseas, but those incidents are not in my records. At any rate, I just am kinda lost on how to approach the claim. Me and my neurologist have a great relationship, and I plan on keeping it that way. I will likely run it by him about my claim that will be submitted. The ball will be in his court. Either way, I appreciate him and always look forward to my visits with him. Weird I guess. My current medical records through the VA are loaded with MS treatments. To include a chemo last February. I do not have much beyond that. No records, but can get buddy statements etc... The doctor that diagnosed me with Lupus after returning home has passed away and practice closed. I will gather my statements, to include my ex-wife, whom saw everything as we met 2 weeks after I returned to the states. As well as all current records. Other than that, not sure what else I can give them, or do to make their job easier. I agree on the presumption of connection. Not sure if that holds as much water, but in the end things usually work out. Again, thank you and have a great Thanksgiving.

Hi all. I am beginning a claim for service connected MS. I see my VA neurologist in 2 weeks. I would like to get some help with preparing a Nexus letter. I guess I make a draft and he fills it out? I appreciate any and all responses. James
