Hi, It's been hard to find any resources to educate myself on this process, as everyone I've talked to hasn't experienced much of med boards. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia amongst other items and diagnosis' and am currently overseas on an Air National Guard activation for a few year tour...

Hello there! Just a quick background of everything going on... I've been active duty since 2021, and while in BMT I tore my left meniscus during the final PT Test. With some guidance from my MTI's, I ultimately decided to push through the rest of BMT without going to medical to avoid med hold...

Currently being medboarded for Fibromyalgia. I also got a long COVID diagnosis and a chronic fatigue diagnosis right after and everyone involved in the MEB are acting as if none of it happened or affected me. I was diagnosed much faster than being able to get treated for. My NARSUM came back and...

Hi all! First of all, thank you for taking your time to read through this post. I would really appreciate any input to my situation. TL;DR: New Army AD 2LT with history of chronic knee pain and recent fibromyalgia diagnosis. PCM puts me back in training for "treatment" despite previously noting...

Hello! Been lurking a while and feel I should probably post my timeline at some point and have some questions that hopefully I can get some info on. ?? MAR 2018 - First noticed symptoms that would be later diagnosed ?? APR 2018 - PCS to new base ?? JUN 2018 - First appt for symptoms after PCS...

I have been seeing nurosurgery for my constant leg pain. I have MRIs of my entire spine and they day my bulging disc shouldn't be causing this much nerve pain. The doctor put in a consult to rheumatology to do a work up. Any one know the process and how the workup for fibromyalgia goes? I was...

I am posting this as a combination on my journey. Maybe it will help others find resources for their issues. I started with my MEB timeline from Fort Hood and then moved into my symtpoms and at the end I talk about a current treatment program I am trying that has worked for a LOT of Vets being...

Hello All, Want to start off by saying this is my 1st post been stalking the forum for months like everyone else. I apologize if this isn’t in the right place. Just a quick rundown I’ve been in the initial MEB stages for months after PCM dragged his feet to write Narsum. My package was...

Hi, as the title says I'm an Airmen diagnosed with Joint Hypermobility Syndrome / Fibromyalgia since 2016. My MEB started in the summer of 2017, and they found me unfitting due to the profiles I have and since I can not deploy. I'm on multiple medications for the conditions, and it is refractory...

I'm on my way to a formal board for Fibromyalgia. i was found fit and we are trying to appeal. My lawyer suggested that i go see my PCM to have them note that if I'm found fit i would still be unable to do certain things. I have gotten a new PCM since i started the Med Board and when i saw him...

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in Feb.2017 Today the rheumatologist sent a MEB recommendation to my psychiatrist. I don't know anything about the process, he said ill get call from PEBLO. What do I need to know to have everything go in my favor?

Good Day all, I am currently in the Air Force with less than two years left until separation (signed for 6 years). I was recently referred off base to a rheumatologist and found out I have fibromyalgia. I've been suffering for the past couple years but all they did was send me to physical...

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to read my post. My MEB packet has just been completed. I do not agree with my referring conditions. I need help to understand if this is something I can dispute, and how. My initial meeting with the PEBLO there was an immediate red flag on my paper. I was...

Hello, I have made posts on here before, but I'm at a really unsure part in my service. I've been told that I won't be going under a MEB anymore due to the nature of my DOS being Aug 28. I was informed that my doctor was developing a report months ago. I understand that MEB's aren't a given and...
