Though I still have numerous symptoms, multiple lesions, and at least one active lesion - I still have not been diagnosed with MS. My lumbar puncture came back ok. Since the Veterans Administration was not able to come up with a diagnosis or clear reason why I couldn't deploy to Iraq, I am now sitting in a little trailer about 50 miles south of Baghdad. To my surprise, however, I was just told that the VA has rated me at 80% disabled and just paid one year of back dated disability pay! I'm not sure of the breakdown, but much of my claim for disability was based on neurological problems (intention tremor, double vision, visual disturbances, and a variety of twitches and sensory problems). When I get back to the States I plan on getting another evaluation of my neurological problems.
I just thought I'd share since I haven't been able to visit the site for a long time and wanted to check in.
Take care,
KJ
