diabetes Chemical Exposure & Other Maladies

[RSG]

I was wondering if you guy's know of a way to accquire information of diabetes cases and/or other pshycological issues,

after serving at Treasures Island, San Francisco. Reason I'm asking Is that all the Barracks were built on a Toxic Waste

site. I just want to see if there is any connection between the toxic waste and illnesses incurred after being stationed there.

Right now It's curiousity.

Thanks

RSG,

C-file is your claims file. If you have not requested a copy of this, do it now. It contains everything the VA has on you. Service medical records(SMR's), evidence, duty stations, C&P's, comunications between VARO & VAMC, etc.

I have more symptoms and diagnoses. Just tired of thinking about them.

Berta,

It was a VAMC Dr that first diagnosed MS back in 94'. I saw him for general care.

A private Dr agreed & I started recieving Social Security for MS from 1993.

I recieved VA Pension for it in 97' maybe.

I pushed and pushed the neurologist for years to provide a diagnose other than, Neumuscular Disorder of Unknown Cause. Finally in 2004 a neurologist diagnosed brain injury.

A year later in 2005, Dr Bash diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis as directly related to service in the Navy.

The VA had no problem with the diagnoses of MS as long as I stayed on Pension. As soon as I filed for service connection, I no longer had it.

DM?

Ocasionally, my glucose is elevated. My liver enzymes are generally elevated.

If I don't watch my diet, sugar intake and eat a little something serveral times a day, I will come real close to passing out. Comes on very sudden. No they say I don't have it.

I dont trust the VA when it comes to DMII-

It is a well known fact via the ADA etc that diabetes is highly underdiagnosed or worse yet not caught until the person has a heart attack or a stroke- directly from the DMII.

I cannot imagine any glucose reading after a vet has waited for hours at a VAMC can properly can reveal their usual glucose amount-

vets who get early AM appts often dont even take the time to eat breakfast and therefore their Glucose might be low value but hours later could be quite high-

Also the VA is supposed to calibrate the HBIAC machines-

if they dont perform this maintenance the HBIAC readings will not be accurate.

Va should send every single vet in the USA a blood glucose monitor

devise. That could save lives and help vets get the proper care if they themselves discover they have high levels of glucose during the day.

Dr. Bash made a VA endocrinologist look like a dope with his second IMO for my claim-which I got when they ignored the first IMO and by then I had a SOC and her opinion.

What is DMII ? THANKS

[Berta]

sorry DMII- diabetes Mellitus Adult onset Type II

diabetes if poorly controlled can lead to heart disease, strokes, Transcient cerebral ischemia (mini strokes that can sometimes have residual disabilities), foot problems, peripheral neuropathy, skin lesions, erectile dysfunction, kidney disease, hyerlipedimia-causing weight problems, and many other complications such as visual disturbances and cataracts.
