Diagnosis vs. the board

[Nighthawk2714]

Hello all,

I am currently diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome with no actual proof. The theory is that I have nerve entrapment and have tried my hardest to get exploratory surgery with no results. I am fully functional and can complete my job without issues. The only reason I am going to a board is due to the belbuca that I take twice a day. Commonly known as buprenorphine. My question is what are the chance I get a RTD with a CC retain letter, character letters, and a LAS letter?

Thanks

Long term opioid use is probably not compatible with military service. Long term opioid use usually results in secondary issues and creates lots of problems.

You are absolutely correct. Long term use is not good for anyone, but trying to get the military doctors to help me get healed is like taking teeth from an alligator. I’m at a loss on what else I can do as a patient other than keep making appointments for things I think it could be. Any suggestions?
