Draggin' Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's pretty maddening to say the least. But it does help to have all of these legitimate complaints right there in the system! Will probably pursue alternate avenues later down the road, for now I'm giving the new doc a chance to get me help for the majority of things that the first doc never bothered with.

Martay Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Same here RE the pain. My pcp refused to give me anything for pain I was suffering from spinal stenosis , she also refused to give me anything for anxiety citing some actor died in NY from overdosing. She did however send me to the psychologist who said I was suffering from PTSD due to stuff that happened before the service. She sent me to the Psychiatrist who said he could not treat me with talk therapy and just give me pills which would increase my serotonin levels. However if I would file a claim for service related PTSD and was successful he could treat me with therapy I refused to lie, what ever pills he gave me sure worked friends and family begged me to stop taking them and I did. Last week I tried to get Plavix from the va becuase I am in the medicare d oughnut hole and again was told that the va decided the pills were not necessary,,,, I will wait till January and hope I don't die. By the way I asked the nurse if the Congressmen get them with their plan and he assured me they did and that the VA is 20 years behind with their meds. I thingk I will just stick with getting my hearing aids from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
