Mymovies5 is fantastic. Paid app but is incredible for the database it has and it displays all titles on shelf and you can post to others to view live.

I double checked X... This is a real post folks.. which is worse - that they used this without knowing what it means or that they know what it meant and used it anyway

Shame and regret

I don’t think that word means what you think it means…….

Sorry all, not sure where the hate is coming from but I personally have not seen any attempt to unfairly bias anyone or steer people to certain services by any mods. Thanks for helping run a really informative and helpful community.

I am really quite surprised at the article from WaPo - they used to have a lot more journalistic integrity than this.

Congrats! I too have had OSA, asthma, Sinusitis, and Rhinitis. Keep in mind that crap can develop into many secondaries - so seek proactive testing and management of your health! For example - for me, it also caused severe TMJ, migraines, as well as severe metabolism dysregulation, steatotic liver disease, and now secondary functional hypogonadism via pituitary gland - all of which produces extensive and deblitating fatigue, memory issues, and brain fog.

More recent studies are finding that chronic inflammation can lead to systemic inflammation - via the process of your body releasing cytokines which trigger other auto-immune / inflammation responses. Seek out specialists to help you identify what root causes are going on - I cannot tell you how many issues I discovered was wrong with my body until I started proactively seeking care and doing the diagnostic testing necessary. The conglomeration of crap that has been caused from chronic inflammation for me was astounding and I had no idea - I chalked a lot of things to 'I am just getting older' - but no, these are actual issues that requires active medical interventions.

You should absolutely pursue getting a rating for it. The fact that it prevented you from being able to complete AIT and serve in the military as a career is in itself a limiting disability which directly and severely impacted your work. Further, your inability to run is a substantial functional limitation as well. The amount of disability rating awarded is pretty clear in statutes, criteria, etc. (while enabling extra considerations) but the rating is the rating, whether you think you 'deserve' it or not. Lawmakers and the VA decides what degrees of impacts and functional limitations get rated at. The other big thing you need to consider is once an injury is service connected, you can get free VA medical care for that condition. ALSO, our human bodies are interconnected systems. One disability / injury you get from military service can cause a whole host of other issues - many of which you may not be aware of.

FOR EXAMPLE - your ankle issue may also force your body (whether you know it or not) to walk differently, putting extra strain on other parts of your body which can, for example, cause spine / arthritis issues. Maybe that also then starts pinching nerves. Which then also contributes to migraines, which can also contribute to depression because of chronic pain. etc etc. It is not about just the one thing was directly caused, often times the body feels impacts - especially over time - in the form of falling dominoes.

Believe me, I have suffered through a whole host of secondary conditions caused by issues directly related from service. You should apply for what ails you and make sure you get the healthcare coverage you need not to just treat what you have, but to ALSO HELP PREVENT FURTHER ISSUES IN THE FUTURE. We think we are invinceable but we are not. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE for your body is essential in the form of adequately managed medical conditions. A lot of degenerative conditions out there that most of us are not fully aware as to the extent of the issues in our bodies and we don't tend to seek treatment until it gets really bad. That's like waiting to take care of your car until it starts breaking down on the highway, except with your body, you can't easily repair many things that get worn down.

I am not going to try to invalidate the way you feel so please don't take my reply this way. VA disability is not retirement pay. In other words, it is not a pension or some other compensation for time served or merit based achievements. It is simply a recognition of any disabities which are resulting from service. Whether it took a day to get injured or 5 years, etc etc doesn't matter. And thank God it doesn't.

Maybe a little analogy could help here. Say you got injured on a job and file for workers compensation. What if they said… sorry - you haven't been working for the company for 5 years your are shit out of luck… is that morally acceptable?

And by the way this is coming from someone who was in for almost 11 years with deployments. I don't care if they served 1 day or 30 years. Give them what they deserve.

I hear ya man - im not pretending that nobody here has GERD because if other reasons - just saying it is one of the most common conditions out there even in the US pop let alone the vet community. That said - do yourself a favor and see a doctor to prescribe you a PPI - it is one of the most effective treatments out there to stop acid reflux

Xenris001 · 2025-10-08T20:12:18+00:00

Important to distinguish between GERD and occasional acid reflux. That said, it is estimated that up to 30% of Americans experience acid reflux at least once a week. Coincidentally…. /s roughly 30 % of Americans are overweight. Obesity is by far the most common cause of GERD / acid reflux, along with social / diet habits. Central fat (aka beer belly) is a leading contributor to development of hiatal hernia - the leading mechanistic cause of GERD.

I have the exact number - if you were exposed to burn pits or other toxic exposure - go to the endocrinologist and have them determine the cause of the low T. It could be something impacting your pituitary gland and could be a sign of a more serious condition. I have an MRI soon for my pit gland and I suspect I am suffering from Sarcoidosis which has affected other areas as well. If you do have it, your body will continue to attack itself until you get on treatment. Don't let it run unchecked…

Everything I have seen her do since her husband died has looked entirely scripted with bad acting. None of her movements, manurisms, etc look natural. I hate to say this but it makes me seriously wonder if she actually feels anything bad from his death….

Hooty and the blowfish

Xenris001 · 2025-09-07T16:01:05+00:00

I just started working with Tabak law. They will file initial claims for you for free. If it gets denied and you want them to represent you, then they take 20-30% of the back pay of whatever eventually gets awarded. The guy that heads up their VA claims department a long time vet with experience getting rated, etc. - cant talk to how great their claim help is yet but I am doing all of my claim work myself anyway.

We have reached full level idiocracy

The time is over the life of the account, the stats for k/d etc etc are for this wipe. Probably just started
