I know that would be beneficial to me, but there is a 100% chance of that not happening, if you know what I mean lol
I was diagnosed with adjustment disorder with depression while in, and it is in my service treatment records. I would rather not go that route, mainly because of how it could effect my personal life for reasons I'd rather not share.
In my dental record upon my exit examination, "excessive occlusive wear" was noted. From what I've read, that can be related to teeth grinding, which can be related to sleep apnea. Is that something I need to submit for evidence? Or should I have my Doctor use it in his Nexus?
Fortunately, I have no PTSD symptoms. I joined at 19 years old in 2007 weighing 160lbs at 5'11, with a BMI of 20. Upon discharge, I was 180lbs with a bmi of 25.8, so not exactly obese. Before service, I had no sleep issues whatsoever. Family and girlfriends can attest to that. I did work crazy hours. I was in the Aviation Field so I was around a lot of Hazmat. I also worked in a sandblasting booth that used aluminum oxide grit as the "sand", and it wasn't uncommon to breath a cloud of that a few times a week, while changing out the grit collectors and packaging them in 55 gallon drums.
