Tips on posting on the forums.
-
Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question.
-
Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
-
Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
Leading too:Post straightforward questions and then post background information.
Examples:-
Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
-
Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.

Question
qwiksting
Hi all, I went to FOI today to see if my sleep study labs were ready. It seems the Doc just put them in on the 19 Sep. I had the Home study done on the 10th of september and I have a couple questions. The Home study was alittle weird wearing a big wrist watch and a few sensors hooked to me.
How in the heck do you decipher this dam thing (report)?? and the impressions from the Dr., He says I have mild to moderate OSAH syndrome. His Recomendations are.......
- Trial of Auto titration CPAP. Although his AHI indicates mild sleep apnea in view of severe sleepiness CPAP is reasonable to use.
- A formal sleep study with CPAP titration should be considered if the APAP is not tolerated or ineffective.
-Weight loss may be beneficial. (This one was offing hilarious because I am 6'4 and 190 pounds. NO WAY I am OVERWEIGHT!!! I am a skinny guy
since I came back from Iraq in 05
- Alcohol and other CNS depressants should be avoided ( no beer and no Lorazapam or quetiapine, trazadone)??? I take this for SC PTSD
Regular sleep and wake up schedules should be maintained and at least 8hrs of sleep should be obtained.
- Driving should be avoided until excessive sleepiness is improved.
I have been telling my PCP since I got back from Iraq that I been tired a lot, and really tired after I started my meds. Any advise as to what I am looking at as far as the VA goes.
