ptsd During My Ptsd Exam I Was Told I Scored...

[hawkcrewchief]

During a c&p exam for PTSD I wAs told I had a score of 75 on my pcl pcv PVC or something exam, I cannot remember the acronym. Does anyone here know what test this is, and what that score means?

At my exam I felt like I was in the movie A few good men. For two hours this doctor asked alot of questions, and wanted alot of details. He seemed like a nice guy though. I was really getting worked up with the fact that this Is the longest exam I had ever had. I also got my TBI c&p done but that went real fast 15 minutes or so they asked about headaches and other stuff., do you get rated for both or only one? Do they combine the ratings, or just go with the highest one?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Am researching for upcoming exam and keep finding 'co-morbid', not a everyday word I use.

defined: Co-morbid: Pertaining to two or more disorders simultaneously.

Thanks Carlie ......'Some residual symptoms are usually co-morbid..'

cg,

I mentioned co-morbid in this particular thread because TBI and PTSD

have many symptoms that are/can be, co-morbid.

There are many, many residual disabilities that are co-morbid to one another.

carlie, so when a doc uses the word co-morbid does that means the two conditions exacerbate each other or the just connected to each other? The reason I ask is my VA doc used this word in a letter he sent the VA.

Oh, i'm thinking now it just means both conditions together present a much higher chance of death. Hate to use the word death but I think that's what it kind of means.

thanks,

frank
