Facing military discharge for Cataplexy, Narcolepsy, Sleep Apnea

That would be great

I just met a PWNC- disabled vet- she was diagnosed about 7.5 years ago in Alaska. I'm going to get her on here. She was in the air force. I told her about you. Gotta get you guys in touch some how. Weird thing is- I dated her step brother in high school. She is about 4 years older than me. I never knew her. We just "met" at The workforce commission in June. Became friends of FB. Just found out via FB after I posted a poem that she was. We talked for two hours last night.

That would be great

Have you been deployed?

No

My advice to you would be to go talk to the lawyers on your base if you are still in the service. Its free and they might be able to find out information that you may have not been told about. Also I would get in touch with Veterans affairs and get set up with them you can get free medical care and co pays on your prescription. They will also help you file a claim for your disability. I would be aware that disability is extremely backed up on filing claims so DO NOT rely on them to have your claim done with in the time they say. My husbands disability took 2 yrs from the time he filed for it to finally be approved and he filed while still in the service. Just be prepared to wait a while. Here is the website for veterans affairs http://www.va.gov/ check it out and find the local one near you and schedule an appointment. good luck!

Sorry to hear that. I made through my first enlistment with out many problems and it wasn't
Until I re-upped in the weekend warriors that I started having problems. They thought I just didn't care any more and I was nothing but a big shammer. The solution at the time was to give me a general discharge that up graded to an
Honorable after six mo. No benefits for me though. I was experiencing a lot of problems but
I had no idea what was wrong with me then. I just took the discharge and left. How ever, check with the V.A. If you all ready haven't done so. Wuuuuup!

Husband in military here in NZ and one of his colleagues is narcoleptic. Will see if I can get a contact for him as he may be able to help you. In the meantime, good luck.
