My process has been started for Fibro as off wednesday. My packet was originally sent down to Ft. Gordon for OSA and fibro but OSA no longer warrants an MEB unless a CPAP is not successful along with surgery and other measures. So...it looks like I'm hoping and praying for 40%. I'm in severe hip and lower back pain everyday. I'm on savella 50mg twice a day which has helped some. Tramadol up to 300mg per day which is hit or miss but I have to take 7.5/500mg Lortab which I'm alotted two per day. And trust me, I could take more. When those kick in, most of the time it knocks the pain down from a 10/10 to a 4/10.
I also have migraines, sleep issues (OSA, possibly narcolepsy), fibro fog, RLS, IBS). Hopefully the VA will rate all these individually when the time comes.
Druce-who are you talking about when you say "the MAN JASON"? I need to at least have 30%. I want the medical retirement if they are going to boot me. I have family and need the Tricare and the retirement money.
Please update when you hear something! And I'll do the same. They told me it could take about 4 months to hear back.
