PTSD for soldiers today is said to be pre-entry condition?

PTSD is now called Pre-existing Personality Disorder

Military Health Issues

AT Colorado and California Military Bases, PTSD is now called pre-existing personality disorder by the US Military Forces Doctors. This change in policy was due to too many soldiers coming by from the current wars of Iraq and Afghanistan sick. At most Colorado Bases you can be discharged from the military service for having Epilepsy and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In fact several have been released from military service without treatment or disability pay. This is the only way for the government to save money and thanking it current soldiers for a job well done. The strategy is to blame it on some pre-existing disorder that you had before entering military service. That way no one has any responsibility to treat you or take care of you. This poster has first hand knowledge of these statements for the VA Administration treated me the same way back in 1982 when I left the service. I had to live on Welfare and food stamps because, I was unable to work due to PTSD and Epilepsy for the first 7 yrs after I got out.

I would call PTSD autoimmune central nervous system issue that BUTYL would cause

I suspect it is one aspect of exposure to explosions & cleaning compounds (whatever guns & other things are cleaned with) and that you have Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction syndrome.

I think you would look like civilians with this diagnosis and like the 'gulf war syndrome' vets and like the Vietnam Vets who have blamed Dioxin or AO instead of the propellant that sprayed the AO.

See how you compare

And if I am right, the anemia doctors don't usually find, is the proof of what is the root cause.

Hoping everyone everywhere in and out of the military will get a copy of their medical records

Reclassification here is horrible. Not unlike not allowing cerebral palsy for a birth defect for the Vietnam Vets ... too many cases ... so govt didn't want it to 'break the bank'

You are dealing with autoimmune issues almost exclusively

And you need to help your doctors by giving them more info

and share this info, please - they have too many wrong medical views to figure this one out

Seizures can also be from lack of blood oxygen which fits 'the pattern' of 2-butoxyethanol type chemical's damage
