Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hi Jan in CA, Nice to meet you, I don't think I've seen you posting before - I sometimes find it hard to keep up sometimes. Sorry to hear you are having a flare right now, stress is definitely a factor, I also flare when I'm under sustained stress. I hope your new doctor will give you something to calm it down, in a strange way it's probably good she sees you in a flare, it will help her in the diagnosis. Prayers for a pain free day. Hugs, Heidi _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 Hi Jan, The VA recognized i have ibs from gulf war and they rate me at 40 percent. However they keep me my monthly check of 500 dollars because i volunteered to separate from the Air Force when they asked for volunteers. I have 3 more years to pay back the government before i can have my Va disability check. This is ridiculous.So far, i havent been able to get any representative or Senator to introduce a bill to change the law so people like me can keep their separation pay and get their disablity check if they are disabled from a war.The public doesnt know about this. The VA does not recognize YET that my fibromyalgia and joint problems are Gulf war related even though about 100,000 gulf war vets have fm and immune system problems like ms, lupus, ra, etc. I will keep trying though. Thanks for addressing me in your email. Have a good day. In orlando --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
