Fibromyalgia AF Timeline

[mkg1995]

How severe is your fibro? I was just recently diagnosed with it too (Sep) did your PCM put you in for an MEB or was it rheumatology? I’m currently being looked at for exertional compartment syndrome in both legs. Just curious how your fibro MEB came about. When they diagnosed me they didn’t mention anything about an MEB.

my fibro is pretty severe. I was originally put into an MEB due to not taking a fitness test for 2 years, but then once I officially received a diagnosis from my rheumatologist about fibromyalgia they initiated a MEB because of my extended profile and job restrictions.
I am no longer in the military, I was medically retired back in April.

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 fibromyalgia.
Overall, here is my current timeline (I will update as I get more of the process done):
