people with certain diseases hjave a specific section in forums

[retiredat44]

Example, a section for people with Pancreas disease to exchange notes and research in claims having to do with diagnosed pancreas disease.

 

I know there are sections for people with TBI, neurological, mental, etc. It would be helpful for those of us with conditions that are already diagnosed by doctors, but have a hard time preparing for the claims process for such conditions.

Doing a search with keywords really doesn't work well enough to see who others get their ducks in a row for the claims...

The same would be helpful for may other conditions, although many of these conditions are rare. Other conditions and injuries are much, much more common.

 

IMHO

• Tinnitus
• Hearing loss
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Lumbosacral or cervical strain
• Scars
• Limitation of flexion, knee
• Diabetes mellitus
• Paralysis of the sciatic nerve

Ms T

I think you have a great list of most diseases and Injury's , its almost impossible to list everyone or even categorize all of them  there thousands but  most can be categorized to the closes that fit most veterans needs and you have did that here with hadit.

Now sometimes we may need to Google a specific disease or injury and thats ok with me.

Just my opinion

But when we need to dig deep into our medical problems   beings were not Dr's its best to confront a Medical specialist in the field that best fits your medical needs/ problem.

other sites have discussion forms but certainly not all disease  are covered  there just to many.

Or Just post here on hadit any information one has got from a medical specialist and just post it under the closes topic that is ravalant to the topic.
