Thread: Combo Diagnosis

So, I've been diagnosed with Fibro as well as DJD(Degenrative Disk Disease), and apparently the AF doesn't a standardized out come for people in my sistuation so, my question is does anyone know of any previous decisions made in an MEB on people in my situation? Thank you for any and all responses.

DDD is usually based on a Range of Motion test. You can compare those from the VASRD with your results and come to a conclusion.

Here's the fibro information.

5025 Fibromyalgia (fibrositis, primary fibromyalgia syndrome)

With widespread musculoskeletal pain and tender points, with or without associated fatigue, sleep disturbance, stiffness, paresthesias, headache, irritable bowel symptoms, depression, anxiety, or Raynaud’s-like symptoms:
That are constant, or nearly so, and refractory to therapy.......................... 40
That are episodic, with exacerbations often precipitated by
environmental or emotional stress or by overexertion, but that
are present more than one-third of the time............................................ 20
That require continuous medication for control.......................................... 10
Note: Widespread pain means pain in both the left and right sides of the body, that is both above and below the waist, and that affects both the axial skeleton (i.e., cervical spine, anterior chest, thoracic spine, or low back) and the extremities.
