Help needed bad Male MST
Help needed real bad posted a question in MST - Military Sexual Trauma,
Is there anything for a man who's been diagnosed with PTSD secondary to MST. I see all this information and it's primarily speaking as if it only happened to females. If anybody has any advice for a man who suffers from this condition please let me know I'm not alone. Also let me know of any coping skills you've learned as I have lived the last 25-30 years of my life in full flight from reality.-

Post in My VA claim estimated completion date changed to 05/03/2019- 04/30/2019 Good sign or bad ?
31BHayes posted a post in a topic,
It's now May 3 3019. Still pending for notification and past estimated completion date April 29th. If it were negative would o would have heard something right. I'm assuming I have a good chance because I have evidence, however the wait is killing me like everyone else.

So, I’m not totally sure what my best plan of action is. I will lay out a time line and then a few questions
2001-2005 Active duty USAF Honorable discharges
2009/ entered VA system and filed a SC claim for tinnitus and tendonitis of the right shoulder
Approved 10% tinnitus
Approved 10% tendonitis of the right shoulder
2011/ diagnosed with Ehlors-Danlose syndrome, a genetic connective disorder
2011/ filed for NSCD and SSID for the EDS, got NSCD first and then got and switched to SSID
2013/ filed SC for EDS, not a new claim but under the shoulder claiming that the tendinitis was a misdiagnose. When I was at my DBQ the C&P examiner said that he could only look at the shoulder even though the EDS effects the entire body. It got denied and then I appealed.
2016 May/ filed new claim for EDS and an increase for the R shoulder
2016 April/ EDS appeal came back denied
2016 June/ got increase to 20% for right shoulder. No action could be taken for EDS because it was still under appeal. The letter and the C&P examiner said that I should file for the left shoulder as a secondary injury.
So, I’m going to file for the left shoulder and depression related to chronic pain.
Should I file the left shoulder first separately (since it seems like it will be run up and back quickly)or file them together?
I also get headaches that are from me guarding my shoulders should I file for that or is that pyramiding?
Then there is the EDS:
1. Let it go…
2. File a new claim for it, not connected to the shoulder?
3. Reopen the original claim and send it to Washington?
4. Other?
Finally, the 20% for the right shoulder is that the best rating I can get with good range of motion?
Thanks for your time and advice…
Jesse
