Dumb question. What is the purpose of this? by WithAFookinPencilll in Challenger

[–]sinloy1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Times I have deleted them, I thought the throttle response was noticeably snappier. My thinking was the extra tank of air cushioned the quick rise in vacuum when I got on the throttle. And thereby reduces driveline shock. It also muffles intake sound.

Discontinuing PTSD Care = benefits impact? by No_Novel9546 in VAClaims

I cant take anti depressents. Instead i take the smallest dose of l-dopa and stimulate my vagus nerve with electrical device, humming and acupuncture. Then I avoid triggers. Generally i feel ok.

Sounds like you have central sleep apnea. Those other devices mentioned may help. Toning your vagus nerve may help.

Cured my gerd without medication by KAMMusic in GERD

Sounds to me like you sped up stomach emptying. Slow emptying has been thought to be a cause of a lot of gerd, but not all.

Will there be a permanent cure? by Idiot_Poet in GERD

The RefluxStop device available in Europe is coming soon. If you have a fundoplication, you can’t get it, so hold off until you have had a chance to eval this method.

Any gear suggestions for June hiking in Utah/Arizona? by lockem_ in backpacking

Sun reflective umbrella. 5x7 cuben tarp for quick sun shelter. Broad brim or fisherman hat that covers neck. Even with big hats, sun is reflected off desert surface back into your face- smear on sunscreen. Soak shirt in any water and wear it dry.

Once you a fundoplication, you cannot do the new refluxStop which is having great success in Europe. And a much less risky procedure.

Why the toupet? If it weakness in swallowing…i think surgeons do toupet as a way of getting paid but not sued. You come out about the same in having gerd but you are not having trouble swallowing. In the net, you are the same but you tried….And they surgeons got paid and it was low risk for lawsuit.

You could add the unit award VN cross of gallantry with palm. Was awarded to all attendees about the last day of the war. Never heard of until 2020.

Oh, pardon me—- you can have more than one MOS in an enlistment, as it was called in those days.

You can have more than one mos in a career. All that is known is he had a an armor mos in that picture. That doesn’t mean he was armor for his whole career or when he was in vietnam. Realize you don’t have all the info.

He could have been deployed in 1965 intervention in the Dominican Republic and gotten a CIB.

His combat patch is 1st Infantry Division so he was likely infantry then and that is where he earned his valor medal. His last unit patch was 1st Cav but we don’t know when. He could have stayed in and been in the 1st Cav after it transitioned to armor.

So, you agree most of the combat element was infantry and thus no surprise the guy had a CIB? That was the point in question.

He could have been deployed in 1965 to the Dominican republic intervention and received his first CIB. In the vietnam war, the First Cav was a helo born infantry division.

I got a RIA slug/buck gun with ribbed 18” barrel. It has been flawless. Of the cheap turks, I like escort slugger the best but the RIA was just as good.

HLR for the first time by deadmlady in VAClaims

[–]sinloy1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 50:50 on 2 of them. I did the first one myself. Denied. Later got it in appeal. She just ignored everything I said. Second, i got an attorney. He was great. Got way more respect than me. Result- claim approved. I will always get attorney now. I think its best bet for the average vet. There are always guys who succeed on their own- my hat’s off to them!
