I been to the ER 2 times in past 2 days for her migraine headaches I think that I have a lot of meds in the last 48 hours. I have a history of migraines for about the past 5 years maybe longer.
I have an appointment with the DAV rep on Monday, but I don’t have all of my medical records just some of them. I have requested them but it will take about 3 weeks before I can get them. I am traditionally a reservist that has a lot of active duty time.
She will not be able to see the neuro for about another 2 weeks ( You know how tricare is)
We don’t know if I am going to get med boarded or not but I think that military is not for me at this point. I went to the ER they treated me like a dirt bag because of my headaches. Its starting to frustrate me beyond belief. The was so nasty to me it was ridiculous. I that that my brain functions has decreased because of the medication . I have no choice but to take them because would be in so much pain. If I did not. I have been in the military for 9 years and been on active duty orders for about 5 of those years. I don’t think that I am going to be med boarded I wanted to start the process with the VA ASAP. My orders in on 30 Sept and I know that I will not be getting anymore, so I will go back to being a traditional reservist.
Any advice
Theses are the items that I would like to put on my claim. My vision is a little blurry so bare with me
Migraine Headaches
Insomnia
Back Strain
Right Knee injury
Flat Feet
PTSD- I was in the Pentagon during Sept 11. I don’t talk about it because it brings back jacked up memories so normally I just avoid it all together.
Anxiety
Abdominal Pain ( don’t know where it comes from, but they took out my appendix and that area still hurts)
When I get off I plan on going to school for medicine. I want to be a doctor. I just don’t want this to effect my educational benefits. Because at this point I cant go 1 month without missing some days at work. I am soooo trying to get better. But its hard to explain to your leadership what is going on when you are sick because you will get NO support. I know I get stressed out when they start being petty about dumb stuff (We all have been there) I do find myself getting depressed .
Any suggestions? Or a starting point.
Things that I should be doing? Any TipS.
