Hello Linda and thanks, I just got back from anouther V.A. visit.
Now they want me to dig up old medical records to show that I had been treated for CH.
This is the first time I had gone for treatment for CH frome them,I had been seeing a private doctor named Gary Avery.
He was the one that diagnosed and treated me for CH,GOD it was heaven when I got that first dose of Imitrex frome him.
But now I am unemployed with no health benifits,so I have to depend on the V.A. The Hospital I go to is in Wilkes Barre, Pa.
The doctors name is Udosi,The Nuroligists name is Luque. He's the one who says I can't have it because it's for Migrain.
What they gave me is Darveset witch does nothing for the pain but does make me throw up.
They say I can't even have Oxygen till I get a pulmanary examination,Which they scedualed for Dec.16, Do you know how much pain I'm going to have till then?
How many times I'm going to pass out on the floor from the pain? I can't even see this guy Luque untill Jan 25 2000.
But any way I suffered for years being treated for infected sineses,inflamed nerves,even had my teeth pulled because they said it might be that.
Then I found Dr. Avery in Blairstown,N.J. thank god for him.
Any way my name is James J. Mc Grath, SS#137-46-3731, V.A. Claims #26506638,Age 47
I would be thankful for anything you could do,I can't take this pain much longer.
