Question
Shawn8955
Hello all. I am seeking any knowledge or advice on my current claim. I conducted a video conference with a law judge on October 11th, 2019. I am seeking a claim for chronic idiopathic urticaria(hives) that I've been battling for close to 28 years. I conducted (2) Persian Gulf War clinical studies and evaluations at Walter Reed back in the early 90's. The file acknowledges that I have this chronic illness but I lack a nexus letter or imo. The judge found my testimony to be very credible and identified a treatment for dermatitis while I was in service. I also sought medical treatment on the private side, Dermatologist, immunologist, and internist, with the same chronic idiopathic classification. I am looking to associate my illness to the toxic exposures and/or the initial dermatitis diagnosis that I received while in Iraq, Saudia Arabia and Kuwait. I've been given 90 days to get a imo/nexus letter from a dermatologist. Essentially my question is do you know of a regional resource that would identify a good starting point for locating a Dermatologist who could assist with such a letter? Any other points of advice? Could medical hypothesis's be helpful?
I was to associate my claim to the "toxic soup" some many articles refer to but how would I get a clinician to understand and render an imo for the skin illness VA is attributing to an Autoimmune disease. One of my counter-questions was Autoimmune caused by?
Any help will be appreciated.
