Question
cube
Filed when discharged in 98 for hypertension, focal segmental glomeruloslerosis (kidney disorder) which was discovered my second year of service. I did the Wilford Hall Medical Center trips back and forth on a Medevac for biopsy tests and care. The case came back service connected but at 0%. I appealed and it still came back 0%. I was on 5mg of BP meds from day one and over the years mgs have increased to now a 10/40 combo. They said I don’t retain water but over the years I been on water pills as well. Now my combo med is for hypertension and water. Over the years I lost testosterone at a young age, ED problems that too at a young age I have tried several diffent testosterone treatment- injections as well as gels, and errection meds Viagra and Cialis, without the now combo of Cialis/Testosterone gel my wife and I cannot have relations. I became diabetic, I have over the years had testicular pains, my reg doctor, urologist and the VA cannot give me any relief. I had it with them, I know it is my fault I took this long but I have been so disgusted with them and burned on the inside knowing I have a kidney disorder which 9 out of 10 will progress in the wrong direction and they just simply give 0%.
With a bag of pills I take everywhere I go (My friends call me Walgreens), the way I have been feeling, the knowledge of my conditions and plus the known side effects of the meds I take (one is known to give headaches as well as capable of giving me prostate cancer) prompt me to look into it AGAIN and stick with it till I get positive results. What extra steps to take and how can get it to stick now? Thank You.
