Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Question
brokensoldier244th 967
Do I have ED? Is PE=ED? Its noted in 2003 directly secondary to my back by a VA doctor, but I didn't claim it becaue I didnt think I could. Can I claim sexual dysfunction as ED? My wife is awaiting an answer on this one......I'm currently taking Gabapentin, Meloxicam, Prednisone. (In the last week or so, I started). I have DDD, way down (l5-S1, L2-3, L4-5).
I finally told my own doctor about the issues my wife and I have been having the other day, and asked if my back can be causing that, going back to reporting it to a VA Doc in 2003. (soft erections, now PME). She looked at my records, MRI's, and xrays, asked a lot of uncomfortable questions, and prescribed me Paxil as a means of staving off the happy ending. She said that the level of nerve/discs that I have problems with could most definately cause problems with PME, and if not that, then the medication that im taking could mess with overall libido and function as well. She said since im 33 there shouldn't be 'issues' there, normally, and she knows from both my wife and me that we had a healthy sex life-not for lack of trying, anyway.
