Good morning, afternoon, or evening.
I am writing this because I believe I COULD be going through an MEB. I have A LOT of questions and believe that I am in the dark, and so this will be a good journal for anyone else potentially in my same shoes, potentially at a different base.
Brief overview:
- I have been on a profile for a year or so and have been EXTREMELY active with medical appointments. I have chronic pain and have been receiving treatment for the past 10 months. Treatment ranges from physical therapy to minimally invasive procedures (never been under the blade).
- I was recommended to do the IRILO (August), and my PCM pushed that; I don't know the results, however, I now have codes 37 and 42 on my profile, and the MEB box is indeed checked.
- My PCM said he submitted a NARSUM (August); however, neither my commander (CIS) nor PEBLO reached out.
- I still have more appointments that my PCM recommended to me.
- I don't know what the chief complaint will be for my MEB, either, by the way. I have a laundry list of issues, but I don't know the ones that will be submitted to the DOD for rating.
That all said, my PCM is absolutely amazing, and he is SUPER swamped. I reached out to the PEBLO on base, and they said that my PCM has quite a few MEB cases going through, which I don't know if that is good or bad... However, I am going to be added to that queue, and I'm ready to go!
Thank you for reading this "journal entry", and God bless you all.
