fibromyalgia

My case was submitted to AFPC on March 18th, on the 23rd of April I was prescribed a new medication from my rheumatologist (I have diagnosed fibromyalgia) will this cause any issues?

My PCM just submitted my NARSUM Feb 13th and my commander sent up my CIS Feb 19th. I know I have a long road ahead of me but basically the point of me making this thread is because I feel absolutely clueless and feel like I should be doing something. To provide some background on my situation...

Hello, TL/DR: Is there any chance for a reevaluation of my low-back rating of 10% being increased after being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), despite how much range of motion i had during the test during IDES? I am active military with over 8 years of service and have appealed an...

Going through an MEB for fibro. Just curious what you all think of my results. He put in not refractive to therapy even though I told him none of my meds or PT helps. Also talks about my symptoms but didn't check them off even though Im claiming most of them. Not sure if it saying constant will...

First time posting here but have been a frequent lurker for the past 4 months. I first want to start off with a bit of background for some context on my conditions. While serving as a GEOINT Imagery Analyst in South Korea I underwent oral surgery to remove a tooth from my lower right jaw. The...

I am an AD AF individual with a little over 3 years service. Long backstory to all of medical information, but I was on a profile for over 2 years due to an injury that happened on duty. Originally, I was being MEB'd for this by the DAWG, but they changed my MEB to be for my diagnosis of...

I'm struggling to wrap my head around this, so many confusing factors in how conditions are related and even more so with how the VA relates them. First question, trying to understand combined/subsumed, can you tell by my decision letter if conditions were combined to rate me at 40% for...

So my NARSUM was sent to AFPC last week and I'm waiting to hear back now if it'll be an RTD or full MEB. My CC recommended an MEB in the statement and said that while I was a hard worker I had missed over 100 days of work due to being sick (fibromyalgia, bad IBS, anxiety) and had been off and on...

Hello, My PCM called 2 days ago and said that he would be initiating an MEB for me. So I'm curious, what's next? Background: I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in Oct of 2017 and have been on and off (most on) pt and mobility profiles since then. I've had 2 full workups with rheumatology, 2 full...

Hello, I have been diagnosed with fibro for over 2 years now and on and off profiles/mobility restrictions and I guess I'm just looking for someone else to give me info on what to expect with an MEB for fibro. My PCM says that fibro isn't a boardable condition but it's on the list of conditions...

Sorry this is a bit long, but I really need some input here. 11 year enlisted AD AF. 6 years after a deployment, increasing joint, shoulder, leg and ankle pain lead to 3 years of only PT testing on pushups/situps/waist. Constant pain, shoulder muscle spasms, hand tremors/shakes, headaches, bad...

Good day all, I was told that the commanders impact statement is a part of my MEB packet. He was given ten days to send a response and I don't think he will because he is currently out-processing. The ten days are up so I wanted to maybe write one and have him sign it due to the fact that he...

Hello, I’m going to try to keep my story short but I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 6 months ago and my doc said that my name came down for an MEB. I was first told that I had to be on a profile for a year and then was just told a few days ago that they’re starting the paperwork for an...

BLUF: I am unfit. Dx ME/CFS, which is the unfitting condition that sent me to the MEB. Form 356 rated fibro as unfitting and rolled up ME/CFS into it for a total of 40%. Will an FPEB address this? Background: USAF O5, 17 years, previously deployed to gulf war region, unfitting for ME/CFS (dx...

I was medically retired after 21 years in the Navy via PEB in April of 2016 and received 100% combined rating from the VA (11 Conditions rated 60, 50, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0). Two of my conditions, hidradenitis suppurativa 60% and fibromyalgia 40%, were not permanent ratings and...

Hello, Im not really sure I understand all of this. I feel as if my PCM feels that I am trying to scam the system. I'm almost at the end of my enlistment but was going to try an extend or go ARC but now with these diagnoises of Fibromyalgia, Tension Headaches, Idopathic Hypersomnia, skeletons in...

Hello everyone. I am fairly new to the forum, and have been canvasing this site a little while, educating myself on the various processes. I wanted to take some time to share my story with other AF personnel, to shed light/compare stories. I have 14 years in the service; 2 on active duty, and...
