What Does It Mean?

[scottC]

The C&P doctor stated sleep apnea most likely sarted in 2002 while in service. COPD as least as likely as not service related.

What will the rating oficer do with this information?

I would say you will get a rating for service connected COPD and sleep apnea.

Yup!

I went to the "sleep apnea clinic" at the Dallas VAMC.

Saw this M.D.

He said I needed to weigh 170 lbs and to contact him again after I weighed 170 lbs (I'm 6'3" and an ex-wrestler).

I went home and told The Wife. She said that when I got down to 170 lbs that SHE would have to call that doctor, that I'd be too weak to pick up the 'phone.

BTW, the Schmuck was about 5'10" and weighed maybe 120, looked like something you'd see in an old Boris Karloff movie........cadaverous, I believe is the word.

So much for my "sleep apnea".....................snore, choke, sputter, snore, choke, gag!
