migraines

I have been going in and complaining about frequent migraines and tension headaches for the better part of 3 yrs. They recently sent me to get a MRI which came back normal. They then sent me to a neurologist off post who put me on a daily medication to try and control the migraines. It worked...

How does the VA and DOD rate migraines that are managed by medication? There is a difference in the frequency and intensity Pre medication treatment and post treatment. I began getting migraines after a mTBI and was getting an average of 2 attacks a week with an avg intensity of 9/10 over a...

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...

Hi there, This may be the wrong place to post, but here goes. I am just now starting the whole MEB process. I am a flyer and requested my RILO to be held off last October since they were about to DQ me for migraines. They initiated the RILO and my Waiver for the Migraines was denied so I am now...

I was separated via admin after found fit by MEB but after sent to Sea Duty screening I was told I could not stay in due to my medical condition. I know that the Navy and Marine Corps were using this loophole to avoid paying out medical discharge severance or avoid awarding medical retirement. I...

I recently received my VA exam results, NARSUM, and Commander’s Letter!! My VA exam and NARSUM are pretty much spot on! However, my Commander’s letter is completely inaccurate. My Commander’s letter says “my back appears normal but I report pain”. It also says my years of service is...
