0 HadIt.com Elder GBArmy Posted October 29, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 29, 2019 Buck, I do understand that helping people on Hadit also is therapy for yourself. That's a win-win not only for you but for us. You got to keep it up, man. Helps a lot of people out there; not just the veteran who asked the question, but countless others that will learn from it. Pay attention to the med changes; monitor closely. Look at the warnings on the data sheet provided. Keep a log with times started, any symptoms, today was a good/bad day, anything that can help the docs figure out stuff if things start going wrong. And be sure if you have to cancel your doc appointments that you get confirmations and re-schedules for new ones. Stick with the program.

0 vetquest Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 @Buck52, keep on with your program. As far as the hospital it is not that bad being an inpatient for a few weeks. I was voluntary so I could leave at any time. I made a life long friendship with another veteran there. If you need to get your medications squared away that is the place to do it because the medications sometimes have side-effects. In the mean time hang in there. Keep working on hadit.

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted October 30, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks Vetquest GBArmy I guess I just needed to let off some steam here I know you guys don't need to hear me piss & moan about my problems Roger that Vetquest about the Hospital Stay..I'll keep what you mention about that in mind I am not sure I will file for increase on my PTSD to damn much stress as it is...I might file a secondary claim for Sleep Apnea from my S.C.PTSD just need to gather up some evidence and see if the Dr;s will help me out? if not I won't be filing...because we can't afford a private Dr at this time. I just need to get better control of my mental health. and possibly Heart rate problems...but pretty sure thats because I am obese, can't do much without it taking the wind out of me...pretty sure its my over weight. I am in a 42-44 waist eh! I've always been about 170lbs at 6'2...but over the last 10/15 years since I stopped working I have put on the pounds most around my stomach my spouse loves to cook and she is a darn good one. just saying!!! I am not an Attorney or VSO, any advice I provide is not to be construed as legal advice, therefore not to be held out for liable BUCK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get OSA secondary to PTSD due to the prescribed PTSD med, one of the side affects with long term use is weight gain (a major contributor to OSA). My C&P examiner agreed with the evidence I gave that, showing there is a nexus linking it to the PTSD and stating that it is as likely as not (50% or greater probability) for the service connection.

My C&P examiner agreed with the evidence I gave that, showing there is a nexus linking it to the PTSD and stating that it is as likely as not (50% or greater probability) for the service connection. yes I take someI take 40MG ESCITALOPRAM OXALATE/ That replaces Fluoxetine 30MG & for anxiety BUPROPION 100mg plus I take two different anxiety meds plus1 25MG OF mirtazapine for sleep and help control night/mares They took away two of my meds Proziosion and I can't remember the other but I could not tolerate them,and lowered md doses on some of the meds I am taking now. Did you ask your PCP to fill out a DBQ for OSA? ??or any Dr's from MH? These Dr at my VA won't help much with a claim but maybe they could say these type meds could Interfere with my sleep, my spouse has to awake me about 3 to 4 times a week because she sad I seem to stop breathing and it scares her.....I use a C-pap and turned it up and that help my breathing better the C-Pap was prescribe by the VA SLEEP CLINIC. 4 years ago It's been 4 yeas ago I did the private sleep study and VA Sleep Clinic says I have Moderate /Mild sleep apnea .and said I need to use the C-PAP BUT DIDN'T MENTION MEDICALLY NECESSARY...''Damn it'' I think sleep apnea is sleep apnea if you have it, it's still OSA, but I also understand some can have severe profound sleep apnea . I snore loudly but I don't think I have severe sleep apnea so Moderate to Mild is what they diagnose me for I use my C=PAP every night. I didn't have any OSA problems while in the military so this will have to be secondary to my PTSD. i JUST NEED HELP FROM A Sleep Doctor or qualified Dr to state it is 50% more least likely as not this veterans OSA is related to or caused by the meds he takes for PTSD and name the meds. .if they would say that or give me a favorable nexus I'd have a good chance getting approved. I am 68 so maybe age will be a factor and over weight but I was over weight for the last 16-.17 years since I stopped working so I am sure they will use that against me too? I gained weight after I stop working and since i never had it while in the military they will more than likely deny me on it. My PCP probably will not help but she might? she is a INTERNAL MEDICINE Doctor Edited October 30, 2019 by Buck52 I am not an Attorney or VSO, any advice I provide is not to be construed as legal advice, therefore not to be held out for liable BUCK!!!

Paul I worked for my boss and he used to say "change is good" at least once a month. The last time I remember he said it at a meeting, and two weeks later, you guessed it, we had a layoff!

I have to be honest with you Buck that is a tough one. I do beieve you will get the increase and also be awarded SA as secondary to PTSD. As you say there probably won't be anymore money in the pot.
