Been Pretty Sick For A Week Today

[Pete53]

Since last Tuesday and including up to yesterday I have been sick with a bug that causes me to have explosive diarrhea. After a couple of days my Insurance Doc had the pharmacy send me 30 pills of lomotil which I thank God for as I don't think I would have stayed out of hospital without it.

I am scheduled for oral surgery tomorrow the Dentist will pull one or two teeth. One is broken an I expect since it is a molar to be pretty difficult. Thursday I have appointments at VAMC for PCP and blood work.

I have not been on Board much and pretty weak so even when I try don't last long.

Notice of Disagreement

I disagree with Pete being sick dated Jan. 3, 2011 and desire a DR Review, on the following issues:

1. Diarrhea. This illness is unnecessary to the proper rating of the claim.

2. Dental Conditions...Also unnecessary.

3. Weakness. This condition is particulary troubling and should be a CUE on the basis that this weakness means that the Veteran is unable to maintain substantial hobbies such as being a big help on hadit.

4. I am also apply for a Later Defective Date (LDD) on all illnesses, preferably not before year 2080.

Hello Pete, I am sorry your not feeling well, I have not been on much myself but saw your illness and wanted to wish you well on your upcoming events. I have IBD and take lomotil which is the only thing to stop that dreaded Diarreha. You and I are having tooth problems also and I go Wed to dentist for a problem . Hopefully no pulled teeth. Pete we all need you here as you help so many and have been a real encouragement to me to try and hang in there. I will be praying for you too. God Bless, and remember .....NEVER GIVE UP. C.C.

Hey Pete,

I hope you get better soon.

If you are taking any sort of blood thinners/anti clotting meds, like Plavix, normally you are supposed to be off of it for about a week prior to a procedure. You might want to check with the oral surgery clinic about it.

We can't afford to lose your help here at the community. That is
