I went to Gulf War and now have several issues with my health but VA keeps denying me. I can't seem to get the paperwork done correctly at least before I die. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, SEVERE DEPRESSION, NIGHTMARES, SLEEP APNEA, MIGRAINES, Losing vision, some of my hearing, back surgery, surgery on feet 3 times, liver and kidney problems, breathing problems etc etc etc.
I have a doctor who really doesn't care.
Sometimes I just want to leave life. All I have done for this country and this is the thanks I get in return.
