Default DR just put me in for a MEB

MY pcm just submitted me for a MEB. I am seeing a off base DR. NONE of the base medical records reflect the treatment by the off base DR. yet, just that i was referred off base. I told my DR. I am hypo Pituitary, thyroid, gonad, and have low growth hormone and might possibly have Addisons disease. I am on weekly testosterone injections, daily growth hormone injections, and daily synthroid for my thyroid.

In 96 i was diagnosed PPD positive (Turburculosis) inactive. 30% of Addisons patients TB is the cause.

I have blood wor done to monitor my levels every 2-3 months. MT Base PCM is saying im "undeployable" since he doesnt want me to have to choose between my meds and deploying. And put me in for a med board.

Does anyone have a clue what might happen? My peblo believes they will just RTD with class C 1, 2,or 3 restrictions.

Anyone have any idea's on what might happen?
i have 18.5 yrs in the AF, putting on E-7 in Nov. Not sure if i want out of the military in this economy, but all the BS i have been going thru the last few years sure is making me think hard bout taking an early retirement if offered.

thanks in advance,
Joe

I know you will, but make sure your military medical record gets all the documentation from your off base Docs. Im sure the other guys on here will have better advice, but try to figure out what outcome you would like then work towards it. Best of luck to you and be patient-for me waiting is the worst part.
