i am a gulf war veteran recieving compensation for fibromylgia, i started having headaches while on active duty and went to sickcall several times but stopped going after the way another gulf war veteran was being treated. when i left active duty i filed for compensation based on my service in the gulf war. and i was denied appealed and denied again they said there were no record of me going to sickcall about my headaches. so around 2001 i started having severe muscle aches in my back neck legs etc. i started going going to the va and i again applied for compensation due to this problem and after a year i was approved for 40% fibro. and 50%ptsd once a person is new to the va it is a nightmare trying to maneauver between one clinic to the other but stick with it and hopefully all this will be straightned out i see new guys at the va and i do whatever i can to assist in making there transtition as easy as possible. thanks for everyones service.
