    I was there in the beginning, and after 9 months I was finally medivac'd due to the inabilitity to old anything down. Needless to say I came back looking like a skeleton and the only explanation I was giving was that I had IBS (never had any problems prior to DS). Unfortunately, I have most of presumptive symptoms (headaches, sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue, sinus issues, joint pain, memory loss, hair thinning, depression, female issues, & of course IBS; could be more but I cannot remember them all). Many of the issues I have 0%, but they are service connected. While every condition doesn't bother me at the same time, there is always something reminding me that something just isn't right. I have had two major surgeries (not at VA) in the past three years because of my service connection and was able to use private doctor's medical records as evidence to my claims which had positive results. Who knows what caused these illinesses but they are very real and are worsening with time. My kids used to joke and call me the boo boo lady because I stayed in the bathroom so much; I live with it, but now I plan my outings knowing where's the closest BR - it's no joking matter and is very embarrasing.
    DS Vets - Just keep fighting, go to your appointments, have the VA check your Vit. D level, and have your private records put in your VA records.
