First off... thank you Jason for this amazing site, as well as everyone who posts their information. I have only posted a few times but I read posts almost daily. I honestly believe I am now more informed than most of the PEBLOs. Secondly, I FINALLY GOT MY RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!! wohoo only...

Lee, Congrats on getting your final word, however that % seems very low for POTS. I know how very unfitting that POTS is so i think it should be so much higher. I can also understand how relieved you must be to get to the end of this long, long road. I wish you the best and hopefully your...

No you are absolutely correct, this is a no win situation. I don't even think my wife fully understands all my issues. And I've had many docs that know less about POTS than I do. I have even been referred to mental health because they said it was stress related problems. All of my issues...

Would love to hear how your case turns out.. Please keep me posted. My package has not even been to the MEB board here at Travis yet. I'm sure I'm still looking at another year in this med hold condition... I hate it.. wanting to get on with my life.. If you ever need to or want to talk feel...

I am wondering where your syncope rating came from. I am diagnosed with POTS which causes syncope and have been unable to find a similar code in the VASRD. I looked up 7802 and that is for 2nd degree burns. Best of luck on your TDRL, sorry I have no answers as I just started my MEB.

justa bump

Hello everyone, I'm currently going through a MEB for heart attack, dilated cardiomyopathy, inferior wall aneurysm, asthma, sleep apenea, chronic PTSD, and POTS. Has anyone ever heard of POTS? I have looked through the VASRD but can not find anything. Basically it is an autonomic problem...

Thank you so much for the inputs. This process is so messed up, I mean this is such a huge decision to make and there is so little info or guidance available, thank goodness for this site. The PEBLO acts as though I am bothering him by asking questions....very frustrating.
