Hey brother (or sister). I'm sorry to hear all of this about you. Your conditions/symptoms read just like mine, except I don't have Parosmia and my sleep apnea is obstructive. I'm barely 2 years in, YES 2 years. I commissioned very late in life (let's just say when I was commissioning, others...

Congratulations. When did you find out you were unfit? Is it when you receive 618? I'm also ADAF. I've completed C&Ps and found out they were all uploaded today. I just want to know exactly when a decision will be made. This process is so stressful.

I need help. I had a surgical procedure a year ago that resulted in chronic pain and the need to be on chronic anticoagulation indefinitely. The chronic coags are costing me my military career. I’m currently undergoing a med board. I’ve sought legal advice, but the push back is that it may not...

I could really use some legal advice regarding a medical procedure that has lead to a permanent disability. If you know of anyone, please share their info. Thank you in advance.

Hi. How did you claim 19 conditions before doing the VA exam?

I’m stateside in AZ. Since everything is due NLT 02 Jan, I imagine everything needs to be done the week before Christmas. I’m on LV this week so no access to emails. I’ll be back early Monday morning, and hopefully will be returning to some news. For reference, I was referred for a painful...

Yes, so everyone involved (PCM, CC, flight commander, flight) knows of my conditions and limited abilities. I’ve been on limited duty since April, code 37 since June, and my AF 469 is valid for a year. No PT, no deployment, no TDY, no PCS. I’m a sitting duck. I’m going to have a sit down with my...

There is no rating for chronic, painful arterial thrombosis. This has advanced to CRPS. No intervention aside from indefinite anticoagulation. My CRPS is uncontrolled, though no nerve damage discovered on EMG. I did not come across any analogous codes. Surely I’m not the only one who has dealt...

Wow. They directed a MEB prior to the conclusion of Concare. I’m also on Concare, and my modified RILO is due to AFPC NLT 02 Jan 25. They probably need to get the ball rolling. My PCM needs to add my Asthma and CRPS to it as it is the source of my pain. So do you think I should first mention...

At Were you ever placed on Concare?

Hi all. I just wanted to provide an update. Mid-June I was referred to the board, including CIS recommending non-retention. I was returned to duty on Concare for 6 months pending reevaluation. My PCM would need to resubmit a new or modified NARSUM and the CC already mentioned resubmitting a new...

The list keeps getting longer and longer. Today I was diagnosed with OSA requiring CPAP. A week ago, diagnosed with severe endometriosis requiring surgery. I already have Asthma controlled with an inhaled steroid and rescue inhaler, a blood clotting disorder on indefinite blood thinners, a very...

Officially med boarded. Commander’s statement with recommendation to not retain routed. Guess it’s a waiting game from now until whenever.

Any kind of support or advice would be helpful. I appreciate what you’ve shared. I’m just new to all of this and don’t know what to expect. I know that my pcm referred me to DAWG/RILO. Not sure what to expect from that. May be dealing with potential malpractice but will know for certain once I...

I've mentioned in my previous post that I was diagnosed with a congenital blood clotting disorder and the COA is indefinite blood thinners. In the midst of all of this, I had a cardiac cath due to ongoing chest pain (which I still live with) following multiple PEs. I've developed a radial artery...

I will do just that. Thank you again.

I’m a nurse (AF) if I didn’t mention before. Most of what I do is admin but of course I do patient care if needed. Plus all of the active duty stuff for readiness, as you know.

Thank you very much for this very valuable info and sending me the info for IDES. Hopefully, they will be affordable as hiring a private is just not in my budget. I don't want to get too ahead of myself. There has been no mention of a medical board, however, my diagnosis was made about a month...

I'd like to share a bit more context. I had a very minor outpatient procedure that was service connected. Shortly thereafter, I developed 3 DVTs in my leg and multiple PEs throughout my entire right lung. Right before surgery, I started oral contraceptive prescribed by the women's health clinic...

What is EPTS?
