Here's the story...
I'm Active Duty Air Force, and I had no problems before I joined the Air Force. I went to BMT on 20 FEB 07, and immediately had headaches & allergy symptoms. I went to the doctor again and again, and they just told me that I had sinusitus, allergies, etc... Basically they did nothing for me, so I went to my follow on technical training, still in TX, and they pretty much did the same thing most of the time. They put me on medications for headaches, sinusitus, allergies, pain killers... you get the picture. so finally I went enough times that they finally had to do something about it. I got CT scans, MRI scans, and some X rays done... NEGATIVE! All the medication I was on never helped for very long, and they all ended up just rebounding, and making the symptoms worse. finally two weeks before I left tech school, I had another CT scan done, and they found a benign tumor in my nasal cavity, which explained why i couldn't breathe through my nose, that was approximately 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. They STILL sent me to my permanent base in FL even though they knew this problem would have to be fixed by surgery. I eventually found out that I would have to go back to San Antonio to one of our bases to get surgery done, by a 32 year full bird COL. Luckily he knew what he was doing!!! my surgery took only 5 of the 8 hours it normally does, but I now have complications with being short of breath easily, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and my nose gets a lot of dried up mucus in it, which is VERY painful when it comes out. So, after all this I still feel like crap, and then I found out that where the first tumor was removed, there is another unidentified "mass" in the very back underneath my brain. So needless to say my Primary Care Manager (physician) put me up for a Medical Evaluation Board, and basically what I'm wondering is if my chances of getting discharged/retired are very good. I've been in for 1.5 years, and I am currently an E-3. I can't PCS, TDY, Deploy, run, or do a whole lot of "hard work" without having difficulties, all of which are documented for the board to see. WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD EXPECT?????
