    Have Questions? Get Answers.

    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading

Well here it oges I have been under this so claled goverment health care for so long and I am glad I get it do not get me wrong. I have a lot of things going on in my body none of them good. I called thsi week to speak to my Doctor about beign seen to increase my pain medicne. I am on morphine but it only works half the time at best. I had tried to get him to look at toher medicines for me but since I fit the profile young/male I figured he had to check me out to make sure I got my pain meds. I have a bad back hip tow kees that are all shot. I went to the Dorn VA clinic and had the MRI equiped Doctort who had the MRI installed on her hand so she felt of my back sent me home. Two weeks later I got an MRI at same hospital results my back is screwed up just like I said. Well today made the 4th week I have been traped in my bed or on the couch for my back. Cant sit up long or back will get locked up. I got a call from the nice nurse at the VA who realy is in the middle of this problem but my Doctor is on vacation again and no one will see me told to tkae tylenol. I had to cool off as I thought of other things I could do besides taking tylenol with morphine. I knwo why people snap after years of seeing the news I have been here before like many of you. I am thinkign about moving clinincs or should I just chunk the whole damn system. I am so frustrated. I got a mental health appoitment today he is going to earn his money. Hope to have any good ideas as I have been through this time and time again and it is not even worh braking a sweat about but this pathetic. Have a good day

Oldman,

If your in that much pain I would suggest you go to Urgent Care/ER they don't go on vacation!!! I hope you get the help you need, because I also take morphine and live with pain and it is no fun.

Good luck,

Bergie

Yeah, what Bergie just said!

Get into the ER and tell 'em that your pain is off the charts (tell 'em not to even try that "what is your pain, on a scale of 1 to 10". I've taken to asking them, "is that YOUR scale that we're talking about, or MY scale, because I've been living with this pain for FORTY YEARS and I guarantee you, my "10" is your "1000"!").

I've been trying to cut back on some of my meds...........ain't working out very good. Thinking "bad" things. Oh well.

Hope you get taken care of.

G-d bless.
