(part 2) June 2013 i was given sleep test, results came back with me having Mild Sleep Obstructed sleep apnea and Idiopathic Hypersomnia ( which cases my main issues with excess daytime sleepiness). I was also up for orders and recieved them July 2013 and had 30 days to get my sea duty screening done.

(part3) I went in Aug 2013 but no Doctors were able to see me then so i had to come back in Sept 2013 where i was disqual from sea duty. So time went on and my navy PCM wanted a 2nd formal opinion from a navy sleep doc so i went down to the Walter reed madical center where i meat my current sleep doc who aggred with my first and formal sleep doc.

(pt4). I also started seeing mental health and was diagnosis with Panic disorder and adjustment disorder due to my sleep disorders.
So after being told to go here and there, heart doc due to pain in cheast (really from anxity from sleep disorder) i was made an appointment with a doc who is in charged of determing if a sailor is eligable for med boards in my area.

(pt5) At first i thought i seen the light at the end of the tunnel, she spoke with my sleep doc and said there is one more med that he will try and if that dont work then i will put you right in for med board. Few days pass so i call my sleep doc and he said no such thing like that but they said i may need to be seen at a closer sleep center to my house since i cant drive anymore,

(pt6) so i was made an appointment at University of Penn. the doc didnt really have time for me, he cut my appointment short, and said he would call me 3 days later to finish the questions he had, never called. so all he did was get my history and did a half fast look over of my body and said you may have another sleep test but even though i have all your medical doc, ( i gave him everything i had)

(pt7)he wasent going to use them. so now the med board doc lady at this time is waiting on his evaluation, her nurse my caseworker lied to me more then once saying the eval was not ready which it was on Dec 19 2013, said she put in the release form never did till Jan 6 2014. Now the doc is saying if i want to continue on Light duty

(pt8)( this whole time i was never put on LIMDU cause i was told that they were waiting on test results to come back to see if it was Narcolepsey but it was neg, so i was keep on light duty). Now i was told the med board doc lady needed to talk to u-penn doc and when she finnaly did i was told that u-penn doc said i have a mental disorder, get that fixed then come back to check for sleep issues. REALLY?

(pt9)So now this med board doc lady put me back on fit for duty but still not aloud to drive, i was told by chain of command to call person who gives me orders to talk to him, he said since i was never but on med board status or LIMDU i am due for orders but he also said i will fail screening process and if a sailor fails 2 screenings for orders they go home. so i feel that this was done with intent.
