Im sorry, Ive had NOBODY I could talk to that understands since I was in. Its a heavy burden as Im sure you know. Please try and understand, dont hold it against me too much. Mystic

Ya know this stuff is done ON PURPOSE. Its not an oops! They are schooled on how to respond and that is in a manner in which it derails an idividual who might have a case later on, respond one way. If its someone actively pursuing respond another way. ALL to shed a negative light on the "Patient Victim", and thats EXACTLY what we are patient victims, who never asked to play this stupid game to begin with, much less have it steal our lives we were originally set to live free of physical/emotional pain thank you very much! ITS BS, and someone NEED to let the public know that Obstuctionism is alive and quite well in the VA Claim Process, with the VRO's aiding and abetting left and right IMHO! It just makes me so doggone mad, I want to chew nails, spit rust.. Its so friggin prevalent and is STILL in 2012 a dirty big secret! THATS WHAT WRONG with the wait times, theyre busy coverin g up lie after lie, again my opinion, and its getting to be a heavy load. More than they can keep up with lie after lie. Ya know I heard it said somewhere that when telling lies, eventually ya have to tell a lie to cover a lie, then tell four more to cover those lies. Eventually yer tellin so many lies ya forget what the original issue was, and yer screwed. THAT MY FRIEN DS IS WHY THE FRGGIN TRUTH IS SO EASY TO REMEMBER!! Theyre having so many problems covering and remembering that eventually they have to give the clim up, UN LESS The Patient Victims expiration date is up and they didnt outlast the myriads of lying arse bureaucrats, that were trying to keep it from happenin g. THE LAST ONE is what Im afraid of after 30 years, that they will win, and Ill be a spook wandering the earth still looking for justice. Ill bet half the spooks out there are Veterans still wait on a positive decison, JMO! I dont know how those !fCkn@!@?**%!!"s slep at night, but I've a hunch its not with medication like the rest of us brave souls answered the Call for our country. I hate blanket statements, but I hate every one of those faceless bastards, and if theres a hell hope they rot there. Mystic

Has anyone here evr gotten amnesia about being attacked or similar. Partial amnesia. Forget, remember, forget AGAIN. These episodes going on for many many years?OR, forget the horrible feelings about the horrible incident, while remembering the incident ITSELF.Or rmember pieces parts, like a pice of movie running, with some scenes completely deleted, missing. Or WHOLE YEARS MISSING. Sometimes remember a single month out of that year, but nothing else. Just profoundly curious. I could go one and on, but I'll save you the tedium:) Mystic

My guess would be your Congress-(man or woman)Person.. Its an educated guess based on some things I myself have had to endure at Baypines. If youve a Congess "person" thats on the Veterans Committee, all the better. Worse case scenario, the Congress persons "People" will tell you who it is thats the next in lin of command from the Director. Good Luck, Godspeed to resolution Brother! Sincerely, Mystic

i personally know nothing of them, just that they are all over this website. i googled and they do nothing but va work. good luck brother! sincerely, Mystic

have you called bergman and Moore? they do nothing but va, Mystic

SSD is much like va but a lot easier. The waiting and being denied the worst. Id say afetr 3 denials youre due to be approved even with out an attorney. WITH an attorney, and being unemployed due to inability for over a year, your due for an approval. Id put money on it, PARTICULARLY with an attorney. You can quote me on that! Id say good luck, but ya dont need it, th hardest parts are by and large over. JMO, but thats more often than not good enuff! Or I dont give it! Mystic

MUST I have an yahoo email for this to work, and Im not easily finding an ivitation anywhere. AHHHH! Mystic

Susan has an absolutely stellar background. I could NEVER do stuff like that. I remind myself more of Laura, whom she taught.Yes. I read that short biographical on her and was very much impressed. To make such a difference with so many people, THAT would make one feel a little better about all this. She'd never be interested in moi. Im gonna do it tho! Carlie, you are truly a treasure to any forum. Ive been reading your responses to many. Youre very paragmatic, yet utterly understanding, and thats sayin somthing! For people who just need a little, it seems you give a lot of yourself. Admirable, very much so. Sincerely, Mystic L56, Hope to see you there, when I get there. Im a slow poke sometimes.Id give an eyetooth just to get someone to help me clean my house, and Im completely serious! ITS SO FRUSTRATING! I used toi be a neat nick! I used to be many things Im not now, sigh....

Thank you Carlie, thank you L56! I understand I need to watch what I say about this matter. Mystic

u2:) M.

Oh, and a xray of some sort would do exactly what jvretired said, in identifying your booboo foot:) Mystic Good Luck!

I understand(could be wrong , but a simple phone call would be telling) that its not so hard to request that it be noted that there is an error in your med recs. Id talk to a Patient Care rep, or such "Social Worker" at your Med Ctr. and then just keep calling till youre at the right place. I think its just an insertion that indicates by YOU that an error was made, you noticed it on such and such date. Might need a notary, I dont know specifics, but THERE IS SOMETHING, as I UNDERSTAND IT. Also, I had many erroneous things and several times it was like "my right or your left" type situations, so I dont think (particualrly a young Corpsman on a boat, first tour or whatever, YOU WERE YOUNG, and didnt ask to see your med recds. for a while. Or realize the importance , for a while. Good luck. I've a hunch you'll get some resolution, IMO. Mystic

I dont think I introduced myself. My name is Sandy, and I was a photographer (was gonna be) in the Navy. Im 50ish and afraid Ill die before this claim is approved, but i NEED this to be at peace. I was in two years. Im not gonna get into particulars. I was broken in spirt and body by the time I got out. I worked till 1992, and couldnt take it anymore. My health mental/emotional. I served in 79 and 80. no war, but it felt like war. I really didnt want to leave, part of me anyway. They were forcing me out after the physical injuries, and I was scared to stay in.Not an option anyways.The emtional came first. Then the other stuff. Iwas healthy as a horse going in with stars in my eyes. wanted to transfer over and be an Officer. Didn't happen. Then I wanted College and a career too. When I got hurt they put me on strong drugs, and Ive been tired ever since, the injury. My career was a joke. I had to do jobs that entailed physical labor, to make enuff for rent. My body couldnt take it. I was able to have a baby later. Hes 23 now.Ill never be able to have grandchildren though. God is punishing me, is my take on it. First I claimed my back. Denied. then depression, Denied. Then cervicl starin, denied. Then all of this, plus ptsd, and denied. Finally Sexual assault that made on baby go missing by order of my C.O. Id wanted to adopt out, and he wouldnt even consider it, didnt get that far in the second talk with him, DISMISSED! Whats a Recruit to do?! It took me 20 years to talk to them about the rape/abortion. Didnt want to talk or tell.Denied, no record of either. yes there IS! Im fixin to try again. I need to talk about some of this. I wish somebody here would talk to me.I'll be nice if you will. Sincerely, Mystic

woo hoo! sniff, happy tear! Mystic:)

It was 45. i MEANT 4 OR 5, only, grin sheepishly MYstic DOH!

What he said, exactly! M.

Hi Brother and Sisters. I got the answer to my last query by reading some other rplys that happended to be current. helpful, much! This is mu current query: When I met with my VSO, second meeting face to face, ever the other day. He gave me back all of his copies of my smr's and misc. He/we sent in about 45 sheets of paper (1 was a drs nexxus on me, another a drs statement saying it more likely than not....) with a request to open my claim up for appeal. I got a decsion unfavorable in 2002, and was so devastated I couldnt file again for ten years, needless to say my one year to appeal ran out.It appeared (ONCE AGAIN!) as if they hadnt even bothered to read my SMR's, and they rejected the nexxus from my therapist who was an M.A., L.C.S.W. at the local vet ctr, and treated me for 5 years.The va was saying hewasnt qualified to make this ptsd decision, linking it to my inservice experience. My current vso told me the other day, "we'll send this in and see what happens." I just want to tell you that you have a great claim here. If they turn you down, find an Attorney. I'm telling you, dont let this thing lapse again. Because I see C.U.E.S. all the way back to your first denial. So If you are denied get and attorney is my advice." My question is, why would he bail on me like that. weve only had TWO! meetings. Is there a method to his/my madnress. A REASON why he should say this as opposed to "we havem on the ropes and WE are gonna win this, TOGETHER?"We get along fine, and there have been no issues. I've heard other claimants say thir VSO went to hearings with them. I dont get it. Sniff. Mystic

Ive a question, hoping someone has an answer. If I win my claim on appeal with the aid of an attorney, but had to pay for depositions of several Professionals. Does the VBA have to pay for those depositions, or does it all come out of the 20% fee negotiated, OR do I have to pay as we go for incidentals? Thanks, either way! Mystic

the meeting went well. we sent in request to reopen. i was encouraged to pusue whrther they willingly reopen or not. it was all there in original smr's, and they shoulda seen it, and not ignored it, the first time I submitted a claim. But they did, and thats not okay, Im fixin to set precedence! Woo Hoo! Mystic

Because life aint fair my friend, and we volunteered. Remember the sign out command," we never promised you a rose garden." I get/got it, and a lot of thorns! M.

Well I have an appt w/ my vso today, the second ever. We will get the paperwork together and send it off. I waited until I got my ducks in a row, rather than pieces part it. Im not gonna give up hope. Ive God on my side, and Ive just got a hunch that he wont let me slip thru the cracks. HE will win my case thru the combined efforts of all I have spoken of. Ive faith, and thats a LOT! I must say that poor fellow vet with the pancreatic issues and absent doctor is just ONE scenario IVE BEEN THRU MANY TIMES, and just one reason Unless Ive no choice Ill never go to a va med ctr again. Ya get what you pay for, is my experience. Mystic

Im sorry doll. I too have fibromyalgia and wasnt believed for many years. Shitty care even AFTER dzed. I wont go to ve med. Ive said so. So I understand, and understand what w/d's are like. It ALL SUCKS, and we dont want to be particip[ants. But we are, so put one foot in front od the other, and do what ya gotta do, folow the chain of command. Ya kniw what THAT is or ya wouldnt be HERE! Hugs, Mystic

Hi, I go by Mystic. I too am very sorry, but not at all surprised. In the past when Iv e run into meds. issues such as this I spoke with the manager of the outpatient Pharmacy, way up in his Office. Dont call when upset! ER, well thats a tall order, but calm yerself, knowing you will get some help, but keep in mind theyre completely innocent and new on this scene. That outlook may help you calm yerself on a nasty issue.After all is done and settled. Youve his name rank phone number, etc. THEN bring up the call issue. At the very least he may have a number you can call. Good luck, hang tough,it'll be an Dont sweat the small stuff and youd be surprised how small it can all get, eh! it'll be an annoying memory, n more or less,PROMISE! STRONG BEAR Hug, Mystic PS- Let us know if you get some satisfaction! Ya might make a new friend! In high places, no less! I hope this helped!

Wow, this is beyond bad. I was terrified before, but. In all this time ya cant find anything good out of all Ive shared. They can do or allow what was done to me, and 3 doctors ,a va center therapist and a vso, plus myself have a problem with it, only to expect to be told by an ALJe later that were being ignored, no case. Is that what Im hearing, with all this silence. Because THATS CAUSE FOR MAJOR CONCERN. If I offended you Carlie, Ive told you that this wasnt directed at YOU. Youve been kind to me, and I hope yer skin is thicker than THAT on THIS forum. If I offended you anyways, I apologize. Sincerely, Mystic
