Heat Stroke and it's consequences

[vetquest]

Anyone here know of anyone who had a heatstroke in the military and received benefits for it?  I had a heatstroke in 1982 and was discharged in 1986 at the Convenience of the Government.  Five years later I was retired by the Navy (USMC).  After my fight with the government it appears that the VA is handling heat stroke and it's effects as a disability but they are not too keen on it.  Curious if there is anyone else in this pickle.

BVA cases that include heat stroke here

I will let you know in the future.  I was hospitalized for 4 days while deployed to Iraq in 2003.  I will be filling a claim shortly for effects of heat exhaustion (injury).  I have not done my investigation yet as to what maladies I currently have that can be attributed to that, but will.  I know I have at least two, HBP and excessive sweating.

I woke up sick and went to the Company medic and he recorded a 104 temperature and had a Soldier take me over to Battalion aid station, where by then I had a 105.8 temperature (rectally).  They packed me in ice, gave me Valium, put me in a chopper and off to the hospital.

I do have all of the records from all three stops and so dose the VA, but they don't do anything about claims until you prod them.

Anyway, I do not tolerate high outside temperatures well.

There is no specific rating that will handle inability to tolerate heat or the effects of heat stroke.  With that said heat stroke/injury with a temperature reading that high can cause uncontrolled heart rate, migraines, PTSD if you have seen others die of heatstroke, and neuropathy to name a few of the disabilities that can occur.  Been there.

Hi guys, please listen to me.

I have similar heat Stroke because of a disease called : Ocular rosacea , this occured next to a working choc accident.

I found immediatly that the reason for heat strokes where the blue artificial lights (Neons / Eco lights from china / Led / Discharge Lamps Sports Halls) , more you are exposed more you will experience large tiredness on the 2 hours following the exposure. To recover from strong exposure like this if occurs, you can take some Beer yeast and stay 2 hours indoor into the dark, please stay cool and wait, this is temporary.  If you feel curious you can read this here and consider that it is not only the eyes but all the face that suffer from blue lights : https://www.innovative-eyewear.com/bluelightprotection/

Natural day lights is not a problem for me because of blue natural exposure.

Please do not drink much water because this does not help you in this desease.

So change all your lights into your home with Hot filament Lights (olders lights) and believe me, your heat strokes will slow down. Fresh water on the head next to wake up comes like paradise ... and slow down or if possible disapear sugars (more inflamation to the brain)

I told you all this in memory of my true friend passed away recently, he suffered from Gulf Warm Syndrom and PTSD, I had no time to explain all this to him, sorry.

Hope this help some of you guys.
