Have a C&P (disability) re-exam soon. Had one like 5 years ago, this will be my second. For PTSD/TBI and I think a knee injury. Anyone gone through one recently?

My issues are still issues. The idea of seeing a forensic psychologist to see if I’m faking the funk or have improved doesn’t sound fun. And my disability comp is $$ I depend on and I’d hate to lose that.

On paper, I’m a success story. Went to a great school. Am now a management consultant. But suck at my job. I struggle hard. My memory is shot and I just can’t cognitively process all the shit dumped on us daily. And I have anxiety that I’ll eventually lose my job because of that.

And I guess that’s what I’ll tell him.

Hahaha. Possibly!

I went through one and the reduced my disability rating for my bipolar disorder because I was showing improvement in my ability to integrate with society and show success in life. Yet somehow they came up with this because I said I lost my job and went back to school. I am hoping reevaluate because my non-va psychiatrist said bipolar disorder doesn’t magically get better or go away. I mean, it’s whatever to me really, the difference is like 200 a month but still bullshit

Sort of the same thing except I left my job because they refused to uphold the agreement they made for me upfront.

Is there a minimum time for re-evaluation for PTSD

2-5 years I think?

Is this only for term disability? I believe I’m permanent so does this mean I don’t have to do these?

I was medically retired so I hope this isn’t the case. If you show any signs of well being or life in those exams they reduce. Smh

What if the only reason you’re doing ok is because you’re on like 5 meds? Literally if I miss a refill all functionality goes to zero.

As an update. My 2 appointments went okay. I think I’ve been in denial, or just pushing stuff aside and not dealing with it, and these appointments forced me to really think through a lot of it and I haven’t felt the same since. It’s been a tough few weeks.

That aside, these appointments have referred me to 2 other appointments and it’s fucking ridiculous. Spent 3.5 hours yesterday driving to an appointment 40+ miles away. These appointments are mandatory. What if I was hourly and had to miss work for these FOUR appointments? What if I had to rely on public transportation or caregivers? This shit is so inconvenient

It’s bullshit.

Had a my 7 week ultrasound today, confirming I’m PREGNANT after my second medicated IUI!!!! So happy to have heard that heartbeat. There were some oddities on the ultrasound- wondering if any of you have experienced any/all of these and how it worked out (doc didn’t sound alarms, just said we’d keep an eye, but naturally I’m worried):
1. Grapefruit sized cyst on right ovary 2. Unknown object with no heartbeat (maybe a hematoma) in the gestational sac with my baby 3. An empty gestational sac

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis.

Is that normal?

Signs I’m getting old: I tripped and fell, and somehow partially tore my ACL. Have to figure out if I want surgery, and how to tell the team—at the very least, I’ll need a ton of PT. I’m a first year associate and the only woman on all of my teams, so I’m freaking out about how this is going to reflect on me. I know I’m overthinking this, health comes first, etc…but I’m still so scared to tell people.
