Jim MAC Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Vetwife I read a great article on some of the suspected long term effects of the Anthrax shots I know sleep apnea was one of them. The local paper here in Virginia did a 4 part article of the effects of Anthrax and how the DOD withheld hospital information. A lot of the things associated with Gulf War syndrome are also associated with Anthrax shots I will try and post that link sometime today. V/R Jim Delay, Delay, Delay another thousand Vets will die today. This has been almost a 9 year trip thru the VA maze. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefhouse00 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 BERTA, I AM LOOKING FOR WHAT DID Cheifhouse CONNECT SLEEP APNEA? ASTHMA SHD STAND ALONE<But my undderstanding is that his Sleep Apnea was not picked up while in Service or the year afterward. I think there was a BVA or COVA? case that connected Sleep apnea secondary to PTSD BUT now I cannot find it!! Thanks, Brenda Greetings Berta Yes, I retired in 1999 and was first rated at 10% for Bronchial Asthma in 2000. It was increased to 30% on 15 Jan 2003 because I was taking Flovent (corticosteroid) for this condition. I still use this medication for bronchial asthma. Do you recommend I submitt the NOD to have my sleep apnea (50%) and asthma (30%)conditions rated separately? Currently, both conditions have been combined and rated under Sleep Apnea.
