    So this is misleading. You are in REM sleep (your brain is active), meaning you are not getting restful sleep... hence why you are always tired. So that attack doesn't allow you to always feel rested when you fall asleep.

The first exam that got me 10% was a joke, I don’t feel like any of my real issues were even considered. My question is this…how to I tell these people how I’m really feeling without having someone show up to my house to force me into inpatient care? Thanks all

    I just had a mental exam a few days ago, and I felt like I was totally unprepared. Shortly after the exam, I wanted to slap myself because there were things that I left out or didn't emphasize because it seemed like I was flooded with thoughts and couldn't gather my thoughts. Now, I just have to wait and see what the results are. My anxiety has been through the roof the past couple of days because I feel like I did not go well, and I can't shake that ferlingl. I'm already wondering what to do if I'm denied or the rating is low. I wish I had seen more of your informational vids earlier.

    I had an exam for an anxiety disorder and the diagnosis was documented as a favorable finding but the nexus wasn’t approved. Could I submit a supplemental claim and connect this to the IBS that was approved during this same time frame or do I need to start a new claim for anxiety secondary to IBS? I’m unsure of what to do next?

    The VA is HIDING my VA and Military Records because they have committed serious fraud, malpractice, and other issues. When the VA tells Veterans that "IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD", "YOU'RE JUST A MALINGERER," "WHAT ARE YOU HERE TO WHINE ABOUT TODAY," and "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW" Veterans don't go back to the VA. The VA treats you like you should be a doctor and KNOW what is wrong with you. That's NOT how medicine works.
