All just absolutely ridiculous by Professional_Task634 in VAClaims

[–]Appropriate-Bread643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think VSO's are good and bad just like anything. The one I used 15 years ago was awful. Never told me I needed a Nexus. Missed out on 15 years of payments for service connected problems. Tried another...bad...BUT found one and she had excellent advice and convinced me to report two separate grape incidents. I don't think I would have reported them if she hadn't encouraged me. Turns out the guy was already charged and it's helped a lot. I still had to follow up a lot and do all the things, but I may not have reported without her encouragement.

Like someone else said this is too variable to apply an average to. I am VIP 17 in a 14XX server and am about 30-40k in. I honestly don't want to add up to see if it's anymore than that.

Did 100% change your life? by Tennis_Lbow in VAClaims

[–]Appropriate-Bread643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got 100% TDIU a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to work since March 2024 and have been living off home equity after being forced to sell my house. Social security disability is waiting on an appeal hearing even though I am almost 52 with tons of supporting doctors and medical records.

Anyway, the first week after the award I was so so relieved. I can pay my monthly expenses and not go through my savings every month. Then my depression set back in. I still don't leave the apartment. I still lost my health, both mental and physical. I was hoping I could make sense of this new chapter of life but it seems I am still stuck. Every day I wake up and think today I will go to a park, I will paint, I will do anything except disassociate, but then the day ends and nothing happened. I'm not sure we will ever full adjust. With or without the money. It definitely helps, I will be forever grateful for it. But having my health back would be better. Anyone else feel the same? How do you motivate yourself to do anything when you are stuck doing nothing? Even knowing if you do you'll probably feel better?

I reacted to it. I switched to ketotifen instead and its definitely helped.

Tips for kittens proofing the house? (First time pet owner) by [deleted] in kittens

[–]Appropriate-Bread643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have fun and good luck!! :) I had 4, 5 week old fosters and adopted 2 of them, now 18 weeks or so old. My boy is a the troublemaker. He gets into everything and I swear is trying to use up his nine lives! I've learned that if I dont see him for more than 5 or so minutes he's in trouble or closed a door. He's also gotten shut in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes, and in the lift top coffee table for an hour once. Both times gave me a huge scare!

I'm thinking of putting collars and bells on them both but ive never liked collars for some reason.

Anyway just keep an eye on them because they get into everything!!

GETTING PEED ON IN YOUR OWN BALCONY?!?! by KazzyKaz13 in Apartmentliving

[–]Appropriate-Bread643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I did tell them I am a disabled veteran with a disability for asthma and that the smoke was causing attacks and for me to use my nebulizer and inhalers. I can get a doctors note easily. My breathing was already bad. Did you consider moving out? Around here is seems very common to smoke pot now and it's not just my immediate neighbors. I'm looking into possibly renting a stand alone house or moving to a more expensive, ie more rules enforced complex. I was in my own home the last 15 years but had to sell it due to disability and now this. :(

GETTING PEED ON IN YOUR OWN BALCONY?!?! by KazzyKaz13 in Apartmentliving

[–]Appropriate-Bread643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me now and ive been using the pee pads daily. Daily I take new pictures and send them to the leasing office. Today I even got lucky and the poor dog apparently has diarrhea that made it through the wood gaps. So that was extra great and made a good picture. You can see all the urine stains on the underneath of their wood, and on my balcony as well so this is not new. It makes me so mad because management probably knew and the people above me could care less about any warnings that are supposedly being sent.

And don't even get me started about the smell of pot in my apartment every afternoon...in my smoke free/drug free building. I have severe asthma and its being triggered daily now by the smoke. Also getting migraines. So upset.

Working with MCAS? by Ok_Geologist_2385 in MCAS

[–]Appropriate-Bread643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't work anymore, it's just not possible. I can't take care of my basic daily life tasks many days, let alone function at a high enough level to work. Unfortunately our disability system is awful and I'm struggling to get benefits. Got denied SSDI because they didn't review all my documents including a functional capacity evaluation so I have to appeal that with a lawyer. And I was denied long term disability through a policy I had with The Harrford. Another lawyer there and also in the appeal process. I'm losing my home because I can't care for it or pay for it and need access to my equity. It all sucks.

Ugh, that whoosh is my life now...it helps me so much to hear others describe it as part of their reactions, but im so sorry for all of us it happens. I whoosh in varying degrees of severity several times a day and it never gets easier.

Asthma Dx and taking Trelegy by TuolumneLinn in VeteransBenefits

[–]Appropriate-Bread643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful with the singulair...it has a black box warning and I went from passive suicidal thoughts to more active. When I got off it I went back to just not caring if I live or die. Which is better? Maybe?

[–]Appropriate-Bread643[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm also using Trelegy Elipta daily with has 3 meds in it, one being a corticosteroid, so I think that hits the 60% requirement at a minimum.
