I spent $400 on a doctor visit, lab work, and meds. Then I got my VA scripts in the mail today. Sigh..If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

Great news! I got an update on my VA Disability. This is the second time I've applied and it looks like I might get a ruling next year. Oh Joy, Oh Joy! Especially since they lost my previous application. % years isn't that long to wait I guess

Sending hugs and good thoughts, Sarge. Sorry treatment is rough. I hope you can get some remedies for side effects from your doc. Rest up, take one day at a time, keep in touch.

My projected case resolution is now 2014. I think they hope we all die off before we can collect. LOL

That sounds so familiar ... in Ontario the wheels turn slowly as well. It does cut down on the expenses/services provided column total if a proportion of your applicants expire before gaining access.

I jest. I know the VA is overwhelmed with so many cases. They say it is the multiple tours that screw us up both physically and mentally

Multiple tours would be too hard on anybody. I can't imagine how anyone could cope with that stress.

Big Sarge-----I cannot imagine what you are going thru. My heart goes out to you on so many levels. The things you've been thru, the bullshit of the overwhelmed VA (ok, they're overwhelmed----they've BEEN overwhelmed since VietfuckingNam!)

Maybe you're right. We're just big sacks of meat. Conciousnessless is preferred by people like me. You're a fighter, a soldier, a winner. you'll beat it and you'll help someone else in the process.
