So my truck hit a 40 pounder like 5 years ago and I've had migraines a couple times a month ever since then and just kinda sucked it up (because I'm retarded), but I don't like my BAS, do you guys think I can just go to the base hospital at night and ask for a migraine med prescription? I have buddies who are on imitrex for similar blast-related migraines and I would like to try it. Yes I am dumb for many reasons.

You can try, but they're more than likely just going to give you something to take the edge off until you can get to bas. If it's really that much of a problem to go there then request for outside treatment. Also document everything and get copies etc. No one gives as much poo poo about you as you do. Act accordingly.

I get your BAS sucks, a very common theme. That said you want to start making a paper trail and making them aware. The only way you could be seen is via the ER. I'm not sure if they'd start you on imitrex, since they wouldn't be able to monitor it. They could give you a shot of it. As said above they'd probably just give you a very small supply of something to deal with the migraine and tell you to see your Doctor. It sucks but you pretty much have to utilize the BAS for non-mental health medical issues. ER is the only other option. Get your chain of command involved if needed, don't let them bully you.

I'll be honest, 29 Palms had an awesome mental health section and I was able to talk to them without having to go through anyone else. Maybe it's not that way everywhere, but my point is you have options, you gotta do the legwork yourself though. Trust me, it's worth it.

I get it you're a tough guy and SSGT said only bitches go to medical. No offense, but people often do what you do and then EAS. They have literally no paper trail for any ailment. Oh their back is going out two years later? You had migraines the whole time you were in how come you're only now bringing it up? Etc etc These people are the ones that develop a vehement hate for the VA. The ones posting bi-monthly to fb "gently caress THE VA DENIED MY CLAIM AGAIN" PathAsc posted:I'll be honest, 29 Palms had an awesome mental health section and I was able to talk to them without having to go through anyone else. Maybe it's not that way everywhere, but my point is you have options, you gotta do the legwork yourself though. Trust me, it's worth it. Yeah mental health is usually the only exception to this sort of thing outside of an ER visit They also started a fairly new program (maybe five years old? Just guessing) I think it's an MFLC? Marine family life counselor? Something like that. Each unit should have one. Anyways the whole point is to negate any of the above because it heavily deters people and have someone available that doesn't write poo poo down or you have to jump through hoops to see. Also deal with family issues etc Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Jun 22, 2017 |

To continue, all of what I did set me up for a great experience with separation and continuing support from the VA

It's kinda sad how little they tell lowly enlisted about that poo poo. I had no idea that disability was even a thing until I was already in for like three years. Thanks to this forum I started documenting my poo poo early and ESPECIALLY in detail on my final/separation physical. My claim from start to money in my checking account was like three-four months? Maybe less? I've had an overall pleasurable experience with the VA and all of that

America has this culture of medical brinkmanship because getting basic healthcare can easily bankrupt you, but that should never be an issue for anybody with tricare or VA benefits. If there's something wrong with you, get help from a professional. Anybody that hassles you for that isn't worth paying attention to.

Nah I'm not a tough guy, I just really didn't want to go on meds, I know that's irrational. Also I am the staff nco. I haven't really been in charge of lower enlisted since I was a corporal though, I am one of those eod dudes.

I was loving miserably in a constant guarded state with super fun lows and exhaustion interspersed. I got balanced out and they helped soothe my nerve damage without surgery. Just giving you the support man, ignore the stigma.

Yoohoo, Fuckstick, Cock-holster, Lance Criminal, gently caress-stick, Bullet Sponge... If you have a personal problem child the nicknames are easier to come up with. You know, so that one of them knows that GodDamnit means them kinda thing.

I dunno like I get it but otoh it's in poor taste for sure. I guess we're all in poor taste and I'm not real removed from the reality of this whole thing but at least a thin veneer of class would be cool I've also decided to drink high-gravity beers in lieu of lunch and dinner today so, fuckin, whatever I guess. Also if you ever have the chance to hang out with bros you haven't seen in a while boy howdy you should definitely take it particularly in our line of work.
