Just write down everything that hurts and show up to the appointments to get checked. They’ll do all the x-rays or MRIs needed and measure joint mobility to determine rating. They’ll find all the things providers on active duty told you that you didn’t have.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?
