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.

Shellie ! There Are A lot Of People Who Care About You !
First Contact A VSO From The VFW , American Legion Or Disabled Veterans, They Will Guide You To The Help You Need, They Will Also Help You Do All Paperwork For VA Medical Care And Advocate On Your Behalf.
You Can Also Check Your State Department Of Veterans Affairs They Also Have VSOs. .
And Above All Else Remember GOD Loves You And You Have A Purpose For Being Here, You May Not Know What That Is, But He Does !
A State VSO Helped Me Get 100% Rating , It Took Almost Two Years And During That Time Of Waiting He Also Directed Me To A Free Mental Health Program. I Suffered From PTSD, Depression And Severe Alcohol Addiction.
After That Treatment And Continued Care From The VA , I Have Lived A Very Happy Life .
You Can Get The Help You Need By Contacting A VSO , They Will Not Give Up On You Since They Are Veterans Also And Know What You Went Through !
