Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Migraines Claims Help

[BlastDaddy]

I need some HELP.

First off I am already 70%.

PTSD 50%

Fibromyalgia 40%

Tinnitus 10%

I do not know how to file my claim and need guidance. I do not want my conditions to be lumped together as one. Ok here is what I have medical diagnosis for and being treated for since getting out of the service 15 years ago. I show the diarrhea in my military records but not the migraines or chronic fatigue. But I did file a claim for migraines immediately when I left the military and also started receiving treatment from the VA for the headaches/migraines. The claim was denied. lol. go figure.

1. IBS. Being treated with medications Simeticone and one more I can't remember.

2. Migraines. Being treated with Topamax and Sumatriptan.

3. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - I was just diagnosed with this overlapping my fibromyalgia last week by a doctor who is not associated with the VA. The doctor is a specialist in Rheumatology.

I know these are all under the CMI (chronic multi illness)conditions of the Gulf War and would be a considered a diagnosed condition instead of a presumptive condition. But would the VA try lumping them together or overlapping them?

How do I file them?

Should I file them individually and wait for them to come back or all at once?

So who want's to help here.

Chronic Fatigue, you would file as secondary to the Fibro. IBS is a totally separate condition as is the Migraines. I am rated 70% for PTSD, but my 30% for Migraines is grouped with my TBI, as this is what caused the headaches. I have a separate 30% for Crohn's Disease, now the VA did group Baretts Disease, GERD and Crohn's all as one rating. So you need to file a new FDC on Ebenefits, and it will be for Chronic Fatigue, Secondary to Fibro, then on the same claim you will list a separate new condition for IBS. Not too difficult bud, just file the claim on Ebenefits and keep us posted

They scheduled me for a sleep study in August, I was going to wait and see what the results of that is before I file. But I am hoping they don't group the Fibro and CFS as one. So the Chronis Fatigue Syndrome is secondary to Fibromyalgia. Since 70% of their symptoms overlap I can see that. That is also why I was worried about them grouping the two if I word it wrong.
