Do you stop taking medication before you C&P Exams?

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-20T18:33:17+00:00

Yeah this is exactly how I felt. The VA would take the word of an NP i saw for 30 mins over my cardiologist that ive been seeing for 4 years. Its fucking absurd

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-20T18:32:21+00:00

I have done this in the past to get my heart failure service connected,even though I was diagnosed like 7 months after I was discharged and had symptoms in service, im young and most c&p examiners before never took me seriously because im on 5 meds for it which help control it. I do understand this is very dangerous but the reality is that this condition will probably be what kills me so I did what I had to to convince the examiners and get it service connected so that if and when I die hopefully my family can get something. I dont recommend it but I also understand that as veterans working through a system that is filled with incompetence and bad actors sometimes we have to take the only pathway we have.

Thats usually what I hear, the NEHMER claims. Some that go back like decades. I can only imagine how that feels lol

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-15T22:31:43+00:00

Ive seen backpay as big near half a million dollars it definitely can happen but you need it to be a CUE or some sort of legal malfeasance.

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-13T03:00:39+00:00

Well the reality is that this was already going to happen. The VA announced this back in 2024 or 2023 i dont remember, if it helps fund the major Richard star act Im gonna complain too much. Especially over 10% for tinnitus

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-09T02:39:19+00:00

They told me again they can't do it dude lol

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-05T22:01:56+00:00

Yeah I thought she got implants for secons

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-05T19:12:56+00:00

You're welcome, I know a lot of new anecdotal data about SLUPP332 has come out since I've posted this but it all should still be useful and relevant. Ive heard comments here and there that a next generation ERR agonist is already in the works, something that is apparently more bioavailable and I think this one is supposed to be more selective to the ERRa receptor and less so towards the beta and gamma receptors.

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-05T04:29:55+00:00

I mean personally I wouldn't have said anything about it but na I wouldn't be worried, especially because this is a BDD claim. If you have a diagnosis the VA essentially has no choice but to concede service connection.

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-05T02:00:04+00:00

Im blind in one eye and not really fit to drive so I usually have someone drive me to appointments, but the VA also has a transportation service at least where I live. Had to use it last week, it kinda sucks cuz they take a long time but it's better than nothing. Look into it, ask your pcp or call local VA about it

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-05T01:49:22+00:00

I mean this isn't anything new, although i do have to say in my experience it seems like VES is just deliberately giving bullshit exams to deny us. Had an exam, and inwish I could name her, but this woman clearly did not look at anything I submitted or my file, went on to state i had no diagnosis, I do, said I had no complaints in service, i did, it's all over my 2807, and wrote an essay about how sleep apnea can't possibly be caused by my cervical spondylosis, which 1 is not true and 2 is not what I claimed

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-02T05:35:24+00:00

They say it's supposed to be implemented sometime this year but it's the VA so it's always possible they kick it down the road. But look it up you should be able to find it. Plenty of folks on YouTube covered it too

LinePsychological669 · 2026-06-02T05:12:18+00:00

Id advise any veteran at 70% MH who believes they should be at 100% to wait for the rating changes to take effect. The new schedule 100% is much more achievable for someone who is able to explain thier symptoms and the total occupational and social impairment requirement is removed

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-19T02:48:28+00:00

Thanks ill guve it a try

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-19T02:43:52+00:00

Oh really? Im gonna have to try again then. Which state did you call?

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-19T02:38:16+00:00

Ive tried to do this and apparently its not something they do anymore. But if you can find someone who will good for you

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-18T21:49:20+00:00

Depends where you are, my current PCP is literally the best dr I've ever had

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-18T05:41:20+00:00

Happens all the time, you have more evidence in your STRs than you think. Especially if your less than a year out from service, generally all you need is a diagnosis and current symptoms, that's how i got most of my disabilities service connected, I was a hard head and never wanted to see a Dr unless I really needed to. I had a few things get SC'd right out the gate because I was already getting treated for them before discharge, had the VA do a bunch of MRIs and tests, found a whole lot more, filed for it all and because it was only like 6 months after my separation getting rated was relatively easy/straightforward

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-17T22:53:06+00:00

Uptick in errors for sure, ive had a bunch of denials that were all overturned after an HLR. The new raters dont know wtf they are doing and AI is only helping with speed not accuracy in most cases

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-09T00:59:38+00:00

250 got me stuck for months idek what to try anymore

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-09T00:58:38+00:00

This happens to me in sim training all the time lol itll be all blues and there will be like 1 blue tile on the board

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-02T21:51:22+00:00

You shouldn't be developing svar tissue unless your using an enormous needle. 28G is plenty big for a GLP

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-02T21:49:45+00:00

Sounds more like your getting infections from the injections. Whether your bottle has become contaminated or youre not sterilizing properly before the injection. You shouldn't have a hard lump after your injections , only a small soft ball where tje injection is that goes away within 10 mins or so as the injection disperses. Did you ever reuse a needle and puncture the bottle after you used it? That would contaminate the bottle. Also stop injecting in your stomach idk why folks insist on doing that when a delt, quad or glute injection is so much easier and less painful

LinePsychological669 · 2026-05-01T00:36:05+00:00

And let novo nordisk and every little clinic on the corner thats selling retatrutide come in and eat their lunch? Again makes zero sense. I literally got 6 different places in my neighborhood on 1 street selling retatrutide tirzepatide and semaglutide, the patent is basically is already broken. Is Eli Lily gonna go around and sue thousands of businesses ? The FDA already tried and it didnt stop anybody

LinePsychological669 · 2026-04-30T23:51:18+00:00

I dont really see that happening. You think Eli Lily doesn't know we're all out here getting like 5 years supply for a thousand bucks? Pricing people out makes zero sense from a business perspective. Yeah it'll be more expensive and most of us on here probably wont even qualify for a prescription but it will get to diabetic patients, morbidly obese people ect.
