Ms Tbird put this up today PTSD study shows may cause other health problems in Adults

[Buck52]

 A new study finds that adults with post-traumatic stress disorder are much more likely to experience sleep disorders, gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular diseases, and numerous other health conditions. As such, researchers say that post-traumatic stress disorder should be considered a systemic disorder, as opposed to just a psychological condition.

What's the Effective Date of the PTSD, does it predate your SA DX?

Absolutely file the SA Secondary FDC. Establishing the Nexus could be a problem, only time will tell.

Semper Fi

Since the VA plays the way they do, it matters not. My MST happened 20 years before DX of the sleep apnea. But because the PTSD was only DX 4 months ago...those 20 years mean nothing...only the last 2.

I will talk to my sleep specialist to get their take on the whole issue.

Andyman  they should S.C. Your PTSD The date you first filed  if you want to claim the MST PTSD from when it first happen  then you need to get an attorney  to try to get it back that far   but without medical reports/records  that will be a up-hill battle.

if you file a secondary claim to S.A. from the PTSD& The medications  the date for your EED for that will be the date you first filed  but its not impossible to claim the date when your secondary sleep apena claim was first approved.

If I understand your filing a secondary claim for the S.A. From the PTSD Meds  or am I way off course?

 Note:

I can't think to good today Dr uped my PTSD Meds and its effecting my concentration so don't take my advise to the Bank.

Take Care my friend.

@Buck52 It was granted to the date filed. No question there. Just was wondering about some dumb bs I heard, that was all.

Nah...not gonna file a claim for that. No point...not worth 5-10 years of bs.  Wanted to...but since DX is before ptsd dx...just a waste of time.

Hope you get your meds squared away.

Oh. Just wanted to let you know I start therapy, non VA based, for all that stuff that happened before and after the Marines...

You take care, too.
