Hello, I have been stalking for awhile, but this is my first post on the forums. My IPEB was sent off to AFPC before Thanksgiving as I still sit here waiting. Everyday I get a little more frustrated. I have asked my PEBLO to check on the status twice now, and she just gives me the canned answer. Anyway, I hope to find out anyday now.
I have asked to be RTD but the MEB refered to IPEB. I have been diagnosed with Parsonage-Turner Syndrom, aka Brachial Plexus Neuritis, in my right arm. Basically, I can move my arm fairly normally against gravity, but can not even curl 3 lbs. My arm just locks down. I have severe strength loss, and EMG/NC tests show nerve damage in 3 muscle groups. I also have marked atrophy. The doctors say that there is a 75% chance of recovery in 6 months to 5 years.
I am on profile to not being able to lift, do sit-ups, or push-ups. I also can not do a few minor parts of my job due to weight restrictions, but can do most of my job. I also can not fire an M-16.
I was wondering if any of you have seen this, or would venture to take a guess on whether I will get a RTD as requested or if they will put me on TDRL.
Thanks,
Clark
