Had it diagnosed when it got a name but the Shrink wanted his cash before he’d even say so and I just let it rest with the VA and more than enough to 100% disabled called unemployability as boost to Max benefits but take the pay and got hell away from 6 mo apts in jam packed waiting rooms with great DoD Tricare Well Med gp finally.

Once I was having a gone bad root canal sliced open to remove amalgam floating and constant infection. Up on the Dentists’s wall W Hall Med Center was a DFC for heroism. USAF Accademy grad became a doc. Put in it’s place for a time when near all I knew every day were heros. 8
