If you collect for disfuntion from diabeties, does bent organ at a later date entitle you to additional disability.

rickzoo,

There is the possibility that your "bent" member may be due to Peyronnie's Disease. I have a close and personal relationship with this problem. I am also sc'd for DMII. If you check some of the medical sites, they comment that it is "possibly" a side effect of DMII. However, the 2 NPs, a PA, and a MD, all from the VA, say that current thought on the cause of Peyronnie's is due to an accumulation of many small injuries.

There is a surgery available to correct a severe bend, and I am trying to have it done by a Urology speacialist at OHSU in Portland, Ore. The head Dr. at the Portland VAMC Urology Dept. has asked for outsourcing funds based on my service connection.

Apparently I can not receive SMC K as in their opinion, the ED is not related to my sc.

Hope this helps.

Ed

If you have been approved for ed due to diabetes, if you request it, they we give you four Vardenafil.(viagra) per month....

Just went through this additional payment for "loss of use of creative organ" but doesn't add percentage it's a separate category

When I saw the VA Cardiologist 3 weeks ago she prescribed Viagra for my ED. I told her that the Vardenifil that the VA prescribed just did not work. She said that because I have been diagnosed with ED that she will go ahead and prescribe 100mg of Viagra. I am still waiting for the VA to send me the Viagra. I called over to her office and when she called me back she said that it was under "consult" and it will be awhile until it gets approved. I thought that once a VA doctor writes a prescription that the pharmacy processes the order and sends it to you. They didn't waste any time cancelling my order for Vardenifil, not that it is any big deal, seeing that it didn't work any way.

The same cardiologist approved my renewal for Plavix after the VA cancelled it. I got a letter from my private cardiologist and he said he wants me to stay on Plavix for 4 years (i've been taking it for 2 1/2 years). That would leave 1 1/2 years left. The VA cardiologist read the letter and said she would approve the Plavix for the full 4 years. Last week I received my Plavix and it was for 90 days with no refills. I called her back and she said that the Plavix refill was also under consult and it would be awhile before I would hear anything.

Is the VA playing games with me on my prescriptions? Is this something new that my prescriptions are under "consult"? I don't even know what that means and do I just sit hear and wait until someone, whoever is in charge of "consults", calls me. Oh... wait a minute, why should my prescriptions be any different than my claims that I have been waiting on for over 2 years....I guess I'll just sit hear and wait to hear from the VA on my prescriptions also. I'm getting good at waiting.

Anybody have this seem experience with their prescriptions being sent to the "consult" waiting room? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance as always...Brian
