[An Introduction]

Hello,

I have been lurking around these boards for a couple of weeks now. I thought it was time to introduce myself. I was active duty Army for 8 years (Forward Observer) and served in Desert Storm. I am now in the National Guard (Infantry) with one OIF tour and looking at a medical board..

I finally started the VA claim process, procrastinated it until things got bad. I have PTSD/Sleep Apnea/ Wrist Injuries/Tinnitus/Vision Loss/Endocarditis a month after I got back from Iraq that left me with some heart problems, and I am being evaluated for TBI, which I am hoping is the cause of my so far unexplained vision loss.

Thanks to all on these boards for the wealth of information.
