ptsd 20 Pgs Of C&p Exam Received Today

[halos2]

Got the 20 pg report today...

Mucho documentation regarding linkage and studies relating to the nexus's, and validating as causative relationship.

Will just type parts:

...Standard Examiners Medical Opinion:

The condition/disability Fibromyalgia was most likely permanently aggravated by S/C PTSD.

Rationale for opinion...Veteran is S/C PTSD, based on the literature searches, there is no single cause & effect regarding what causes Fibro, however literature notes that Firbo can be due to PTSD and is noted that PTSD is a major contribution to Fibro. Therefore it is likely that a relationship exists between current Fibro and S/C PTSD.

See literature below...

Standard Examiners Medical Opinion:

The condition/disability HTN is as least as likely as not(50/50)probability caused by or results of S/C PTSD.

Rationale for opinion: Diagnosis of HTN made by private medical records and continue with VA Medical care.

There is also a diagnosis of S/C PTSD. Based upon literature searches, it is noted there is not a single causation of HTN.

Therefore it is most likely that a relationship exists between current HTN, and S/C PTSD.

Remember 20 pgs of linkage and did related to brain function studies and hormone levels, and so much more.

I find it a trifle perplexing how the wording of Most likely that and as least as likely(50/50) in the same medical opinion could occur. Along with the use of medical verification there does appear to show definite linkages.

Both exams were done this day after the original examiner was told not to opinion on as no records at all were at VAMC for examiner to view/relate to. There are much more + statements in the body of the relationship with the S/C and the secondary conditions, like 20 pgs worth, but wanted to post the most important statements for opinions for all of my fellow vets.

So I have been calling my contact person at the VARO, but she must be out ill again as not answering her phone ...called VSO, they are out in left field????

So finally called the women's veteran coordinator to check on this claim and her response was: It is with the rater. No yeay or nay as it is with the rater. So wondering, hoping, thinking, wishing,dreaming that it will be granted! B)

Does anyone have medical evidence or research they would be willing to share related to fibromyalgia secondary to PTSD?
