I have bad migraines and have been to the doctor numerous times for them and tried numerous different meds with little to no help, but still the MEB doctors seem to think they are OK and not a problem. They tell me that if they were a problem the doctors that treated me would have put me on a profile for them. Fact is that the doctors have told me that since I'm already on profiles for my knee and my back that I was covered so I was good. My question is...Is there a regulation that I am missing that states that the issue you are being boarded for must have its own profile even if there is a pretty good record of the issue? My case migraines! I have been reffered to a neurologist now but have not seem him yet. Problem is, I already had my 2nd evaluation and the MEB doc only looked at my back (previously found medically acceptable now not medically acceptable) even though I told him repeatedly that he was supposed to be looking at my migraines too.
Seems to me that if the MEB doctors would do a complete and fair evaluation the first time it would be a lot less work on their part in the end. I guess I will keep appealing them until I get everything looked at correctly! The most famous quote of the MEB doctors at FORT HOOD, "Don't worry the VA will pick that up"!! If I could get a dollar for everytime I heard that!!!
