carlie Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Kim, I sure understand the feeling of relief and that hopefully it's over for a bit. But you had posted about filing for additional issues, so don't put that off too long. Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNDW Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Congrats. For the time line of your claims, you might want to go online and file through VONAPP, or call the 800# tomorrow and tell them what you want to file a claim for. Once you have done either of those 2 things your EED, or effective date of claim would be tomorrow. The sooner you start the clock on your claims the better.

retiredat44 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 what's this 'Vasovagal Syncope' like?? It sounds what I go through sometimes when I get a pancreas attack and I also have Portal vein and Splenic vien thrombosis and my blood pressure drops very low... I get very sick the the life drains out of me very fast,,, I start to collapse... my heart races... I am out of breath... it's a horrible feeling,, and makes me feel like I wil die right then and there,,, I try to get to a chair or the bathroom, and it really makes me feel very, very sickly and miserable. also like a fever comes very quick with it... I am unable to describe how bad I feel when it happens,, Not in appeals, since I got 100%, and some of it was winning an 1151 negligence, which the VA turns out does not give ful benefits if you win 1151 negligence they squirm and legal loophhole you and your family out of many benefits, really crapp nasty bunch running the va benefits, they wil backstab and scre wyou even if you win you lose.

I am unable to describe how bad I feel when it happens,, You have summed it up pretty well. That is what happens to me. I get very sick start sweating, ears ringing, head spinning, all of the color drains from my face and after I feel like I am about to vomit I pass out. So now I am not able to be in the heat nor can I stand for more than 20 mins at a time without getting sick. It really sucks but I am glad the VA has recognized that it's a real issue.
