I was placed on my first limdu assignment Nov last year after being on light duty for over 120 days. When I originally asked about limdu my provider was okay with it until he realized it was close to my EAS from the Marine Corps. He then politely said some active duty get out with chronic conditions and slip through the cracks. I didn't agree with that so meeting with the patient advocate the decided on limdu and a medical extension. Again in June meeting with the limdu coordinator she agreed to another extension on limdu in order to place me on a medical board this November and retire me.
Now my provider changed again and after being kicked from the office the first time for running past my allotted 20 minutes I scheduled a 40 minute appointment to go back and discuss my limdu and pending board. After about ten minutes she again tried to push me out saying it was an only 20 minute appointment, after leaving for ten she came back in to apologize and say she messed up and I had 10 minutes left. Quickly trying to cover my entire medical history with her because she hasn't ever looked at my file she blatantly said that she feels there is nothing to be med boarded for because I haven't exhausted all options for treatment. The only options I have left is a surgery on my back that the orthopedic spine surgeon won't do because he would have to pin my entire lower back and would cause greater damage, as well as months and months of physical therapy to try and relearn how to maintain my balance after a viral infection caused permanent damage to my vestibular nerve causing vertigo. I don't know where to go from here.
A month ago I was still working under the idea that the were going to place me on a med board and now I get a text message yesterday when I come back from leave to start my check out process because they are administrative separating me from the marine corps. Any advice would be appreciative.
