There is clinical evidence that long term use of steroids, such as synthroid, can result in the development of cataracts, as well as making a person more susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome. Testosterone therapy often results in hypertension. My question is whether I could file for an 1151 based on these conditions that have resulted from these medications, both of where were prescribed for a service-connected pituitary tumor surgery in which the pituitary gland was removed. These are both life maintenance medications, so my husband will remain on them indefinitely. How does one go about filing an 1151? Thank you.
