Alex,
I really cant agree with that statement. To me what is going on around me is intensafied by my CH. I also know dealing with the goverment is never going to get you any where. I have been fighting with them for 11 year`s now. Once in a great blue moon you`ll find a V.A. doc that will help, but not outside of the visiting room. The`ll tell ya what is wrong then deny deny deny.
Alex I wish the best of luck. Go armed with all your paper`s and book`s. When they tell you it`s all in your head look them right in the eye and say 'DUH, THAT`S WHAT I`VE BEEN TRING TO TELL YOU." Make them listen. Sometime`s that`a all us CH suffer`s have. Once you get one to listen hang on to him/her with all your might.
Do you pertesapate with the P.V.A.? If so you`ll get better backing from them than you will the V.A.? My hubby is on the Mother Chapter an a Sub-Chapter. His knocked down more goverment and doctor`s door`s, not just for himself but for other`s to. Just something to think about. Let us know how it goes
Hug`s Linda B
