Dr. Anaise IMO for sleep apnea secondary to PTSD

Rate this question

Question

I am curious if anyone has any good luck with Dr. Anaise particulary on a VA claim for sleep apnea secondary to PTSD? I received a SOC from the RO and the review that the VA examiner gave for his less than 50 percent likely was a bit disturbing. He some how got my weight off by 30 pounds saying I weight 255 when I actually weighed 225 so that sucks. So I talked to VSO and told him I was going to be obtaining my own IMO and submitting it. I have not received it yet but I have heard he does a very thorough job on them and includes a lot of literature and stuff to back up his opinions. Any type of feedback would be great thanks!

63, how tall are you, what's your neck size, and did the C & P Dr opine as to the size of your tongue? Depending on your height, even 225 could be addressed by the Uncomfortable Word, "Obese."

If possible, post a redacted copy of your C & P SA DBQ. Do you see  a VA or Non VA Sleep Specialist?

When you review the 12 or so SA Medical Literature  listed possible causes of OSA, not CSA, how many do you have and what are they? Is your SA DX for OSA, CSA or MSA?
