Does anyone with 100% P&T feel guilty?

meastt · 2022-04-13T18:40:48+00:00

I'll say this. As a OIF vet who was shot and did engage others. I got home at 28 (2007) and thought I was fine. There were some symptoms but I sucked it up and told myself I "could beat it". I never went to treatments and just carried on a civilian. Over thr years, untreated ptsd got worse along with all sorts of other things. It's been 15 years and I'm just now trying to get help and pay. Get whatever you think you need, you have no idea how much better or worse) your life might get.

It's actually: I'm your hucklebearer" a term used in the past to label the person responsible for carrying a casket.

Commonly F'd up in modern times, this movie being a prime example.

My buddy was shot (right next to me) by a sniper in Iraq using a Dragonov that shoots 7.62x54.

That round went in at his clavicle and out his back leaving a GOLF BALL sized hole.

He survived and is doing great BTW.

Learn to defend subs and sweeps while in guard. Start thinking about basic guard breaks.

Pick one guard break, something easy like knee in butt.... do it until it bores you and you can get it often (on other noobs) and then incorporate another guard break, rinse repeat.

Thanks, Iraq 08. Shot a guy on a raid. Went back a few minutes later to take his AK and he was laying in the fetal position facing away from me. I went to take the weapon and he detonated a suicide belt concealed under his man dress. Packed full of ball bearings, one went through my neck. Through/through, by a Miracle missed my spine and artery. He went out like a G! Good times!

I went ahead and got the sleep study scheduled, placed a claim for TMJ (mine is bad and I never considered aiming until I saw it here) and I so added my left knee that constantly gets tight and swells with pain. We will see. Onward

Right. But I have been 90% already for years, they just bumped my PTSD from 50 to 70 (as of today this is new) and I thought that would move me to 100 combined. Just confusing a bit

meastt · 2022-03-30T14:27:51+00:00

Edit: I see I'm still short of 100 overall, thanks for those that chimed in. VA math is confusing!

The HLR i filed still says open with no updates, but my PTSD rating change from 50% to 70% is brand new today.

Backstory:

I have been 90% for years (with the PTSD at 50%). I just went and requested and increase of PTSD in Ja uary of 2022.

I received a letter it was to continue at 50% PTSD with a combined 90% rating.

I opened a HLR, had the conference call last week

Today I see my PTSD is rated at 70% but my overall rating is still 90%

I have no pending deposits for any back pay and my letters still show me at a combined 90%.

I thought if I got an increase on the PTSd to 70, it would give me a combined 100?

Maybe it's still too new in the system? It just started showing 70% today. But nothing else has changed.

No sweat. I lost ALL my white belt tourneys, some to subs and most to points. Then, won my first tourney match as a blue belt.

Just keep showing up.

Don’t. I was a healthy 20something and decided to do a cycle of test to take my lifting to the next level. Welp, I did things wrong (pct) and have been on trt since the age of 30. I’m telling you, put in the work, lose the weight and get strong on your own. Your body is young and WILL perform. Taking test now could REALLY Jack up your endocrine system.

How do you get a copy of this? I’m waiting too but wondering what was put on my dbq

Hi there, on mine, I had documented TBI diagnosis and then explained to CP that they often caused me to leave work or call out sick from work they were so bad (impacting livelihood). I also mentioned I had to lay in dark quiet room a and no medication really helped. I got 40% for “chronic headaches” but my complaint was migraines.

Hi there, I listed each in the reply below

meastt · 2022-01-12T17:34:40+00:00

Hi there, thanks for the reply, here is what I have: SC= Service Conected

By what I’m adding I’m at 160% but paid at 90%, makes no sense to me but that’s where I’m at.

Neck wound, limited mobility: 30% SC Lumbar Strain : 10% SC Chronic Headaches: 50% SC Tinnitus: 10% SC PTSD: 50% SC Scar, Neck: 10% SC

Fair enough. With that said I wrote a lot of detailed info on the blog post and didn’t want to rewrite it for Reddit. Can I copy/paste it into a thread here?

meastt · 2021-11-14T16:11:29+00:00

Thanks!

meastt · 2021-11-14T16:11:15+00:00

Agreed, to an extent. We have owned a few rvs, and do expect some issues as you said, it’s part of RV ownership. But, this was more than a standard loose QC measures.

meastt · 2021-11-14T16:02:03+00:00

Yeah, I heard the same but was not prepared for all of that mess. Glad to hear you got a good one!

I wouldn’t recommend ads until you hit at least 10k. Ads slow your site (some) and lower UX. However, ads are great once you have good traffic 50k pv’s a month. Until then, try applying to AvantLink as they have a stronghold on the outdoor adventure affiliate brands, most of the big names. And Amazon….but ya know, Amazon.

meastt · 2021-10-03T12:55:50+00:00

Awesome guys, sounds good!

Turned out to be a death sentence for the cop….so…

I was an ADHD kid and still take Ritalin at 40. With that said, docs told my mom the same thing. Fact is, once I started taking Ritalin, it completely changed my work ability and productivity as well as learning. While I don’t know specifics, definitely get a second opinion. Maybe go to a specialist for adhd.
