for years VA had me listed with IBS, i guess, due to years of gastro complaints, issues, visits.
i noticed when i was SC'd for MS, VA no longer lists my IBS (gastro whatever) issues.
i see where some folks on hadit are 30% for IBS.
i haven't been to a MS seminar, MS speciaist, etc, yet that didn't mention the connection of MS and gastro/intestinal issues. yet, the VA (neuro) barely will even discuss it.
i asked PVA about filing the IBS/gastro claim, and they basically said why, "you're already at +100%".
shouldn't i file for the IBS/gastro, if anything to at least get the diagnosis on the books? don't forget they removed its listing when they SC'd for MS. i don't understand why pva WOULDN'T want me to file considering its a real issue that messes with me frequently for the last 23 years.
