My uncle was struggling with sun allergy for years, facing constant discomfort. After using IAFA Ayurveda's natural solutions, he experienced complete relief within just 3 months. The herbal remedies and personalized guidance helped soothe his skin and reduce flare-ups, offering him long-lasting comfort.

I got out of the Navy April of 2024 and 7 months later I am experiencing all of these symptoms and it really tears me up. I am easily irritable, I can't focus, I am paranoid and always in flight mode. G;ad to see that I am not the only one

I am also a Veteran (Vietnam Era) who is addressing the challenges of PTSD and associated depression. There are ways to make life go better! Bless you, my fellow Veteran , for working for better health!

I am not a veteran. In 2021 I was at work and struck in the head by an exploding 8 ton bottle jack when another employee used it inappropriately. I have a titanium forehead holding my eyes in the socket. I stay home away from everyone now.

❤ No one is alone. There is always someone there to listen. Look for help, it's there. Never give up. If you think something is wrong, there is..Talk about it.

Three years as a squad leader. Did you sign up for that? Bravo poetry.

its reversible with diet, paleo, its not genetic, toxicities, so heavy metal detox needed

Wow, I didn't know!!!😖

Good for you Don! While there is still life, there is always HOPE. it's always wise to seek help if needed, and from trusted sources. It's encouraging, reassuring and comforting to know that VA was there when you needed them most, the help and services that you've EARNED! A fellow "brother-in Arms." "Semper Fi!"

Noel, its Judge, i hope you're doing well brother.

I will always remember when I came home from Nam to me my life is BN an AN before Nam an AN after Nam

😅

READ MY FIRST COMMENT IF YOU HAVENT YET!!! If this makes it to video I’ll make a part two explaining how things still didn’t get better after that!!! And what real life struggles I went through after I left the ER!!! I’ll put it like this in writing this comment almost 1.5 months or a little longer after I initially went to the VA!! And I’m still at the homeless place!!!!! There is some light at the end of the tunnel and strength and hope I can share when faced with this situation and struggle! Contact me if you are interested in what happens next and what ends up happening

I was also a combat Infantryman that was blown up over seas the only difference is I was physically injured the last time we rolled over an IED in Afghanistan which ended my military career! It’s funny, I also suffer with TBI but I can remember thinking I was going to heal up so I could get back to my men or at least engage with the enemy one more time!!! I can’t remember if the doctor laughed when he told me I’ll be lucky to walk normal again… and I’m not making it back to my brothers anytime soon!! After a long enough stay in the hospital in Germany at our airbase I was able to go home and start physical therapy and get the bad news that my time in the military was over, due to the damage that cowardice weapon did to me and my buddies in the vehicle with me… that’s a whole other story for another day!! The reason I’m writing this is I’ve been struggling with PTSD,TBI, and severe depression for a very long time and after being told that veterans can no longer receive medical or mental health care on the military bases in Germany anymore I had enough and shamefully attempted suicide when I felt that I don’t deserve this life, not like this… I luckily was unsuccessful and I was able to get into a mental health facility in Germany until I was somewhat stable enough to get back stateside so I could get military help and therapy from the VA…. THATS WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! BOY WAS I WRONG!! I contacted someone I knew that worked for the VA and is actually one of the greatest people that works for the VA AS FAR AS GENUINELY TAKING CARE OF VETS, SHE IS THE BEST!!!! However, the people she got me in contact with in the VA I was planning on coming to ,ENDED UP BEING the complete opposite!!!! I’m not going to use names or get into specifics because I’m still debating on taking legal action on them! I had contact with a few people from the VA while I was getting stable in the German facility. I specified what I’ve been dealing with and struggling with as well as telling them about the suicide attempt. I also sent the German doctors and mental health professionals assessment, diagnosis and recommendations, as well as a FULL MEDICATION LIST!!! I was very clear that there were Meds that I would need upon arrival in more than 3 emails and conversations with the “Senior LCSW” at the VA I was coming to. I was in consistent contact with the VA for over 4 months prior to me coming so that things wouldn’t be challenging or difficult for them , like if I had just showed up unannounced!! At least I thought it wouldn’t be an issue, BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!! It was and has been an absolute nightmare since I got here from Germany. I showed up to the VA on the date of my appointment and went to the place I was instructed to go in the VA hospital to be greeted by the people who worked there like they had no idea who I was, why I was there, what I was doing there…. They never even heard of my name!!! I was sick to my stomach but after lots of explaining and having to pull up and forward the emails and conversations I had with that VA for the past months they were finally willing to help me… WRONG AGAIN!!! So after waiting for one of their doctors and therapist to find time for me after dealing with other people for a few hours they bring me to a room, get my vitals and with an attitude ask me what they can do for me… ?!?! I stayed calm and told her the whole story, it was hard enough having to relive the suicide attempt over and over for everyone I talked to, I got treated like it was an inconvenience that I was even there until the doctor read the emails from the senior social worker I’ve had contact with for months. She then asks me what medicine I need from them after I thought she read the emails.. I guess not every email! She tells me she can’t give me one of the medications and then says she doesn’t just prescribe someone the other medication. Hmmm but according to the Senior case manager there was absolutely no issue when he apparently spoke to them!!! I’ll tell you the one Medication so I can properly finish this story so it makes better sense. The Doctor and therapist said they don’t or won’t write the prescription for methadone which I’ve been on for the past 4-5 months. Regardless if it was going to be an issue I should have been informed sooner so I could make the proper arrangements. This really made me sick to my stomach, but I stayed calm and asked “so what more am I supposed do so I can continue taking the medication I’ve been stable on and sober from all other prescription drugs and non prescription drugs and alcohol for the past 5 months”? She says with such a nasty attitude that they treat drug addicts and drug seekers with Suboxone.!!! I couldn’t hold my tongue anymore after that comment and I got angry and told her I’m not some drug addict and I’m not seeking drugs, and she shouldn’t treat me like that!! I also made sure to show her the documents from the doctors and the labs in the facility I came from in Germany with the doctors recommendations that I’m doing good on this medication and I showed her every urinalysis exam I took every week or 2 from the last 5 months. She did start treating me different but for whatever reason said that I needed to take this medication she was going to give me “Suboxone” and it’s the same thing as methadone so I had no choice and I believed her…!! I told her when she asked if I’ve ever taken that Medicine before, that I haven’t and I would rather stay with what’s worked for me, but I have no choice. She first prescribed me 2 tablets of 8 mg Suboxone, she said “ wait 2 days and when I start feeling the symptoms from no longer taking the methadone I should take the pills and then come in the day after” so at least I thought I had a plan with meds.. then I brought up the question about which therapy I would be going to….!!!!!! Next problem!!! She tells me they are sorry and there are no beds available at the moment and told me to go speak to the counselors for homeless veterans down the hall. The councelor says to me they are sorry but there is no space available at this time and asks me if I have family here!!! I had to explain my story all over again and I showed him pride as well that the only reason I flew all the way here from Germany was to continue therapy with the VA as I was promised but now all he can do is put me in a homeless place until it gets figured out, and that it was too late that day so I had to find somewhere to stay for the night and hopefully he can get me in the next few days… so angry as hell, I left the VA hospital after being treated like an idiot for the past few hours with my luggage and nowhere to go with different meds!! So all the emails and conversations and labs and documents from the Hospital in Germany was for nothing!!!!! It gets worse , believe it or not” some people already know but I didn’t unfortunately!!!”. So I left the hospital after picking up my meds from the pharmacy that almost closed and I left . Alone in a city with no friends and no support. I was able to find a cheep hostel that took me in without a reservation and let me pay later to stay there, I ended up having to stay there for 2 days until they got me into this homeless place. So I get to the homeless place after 2 days and on the 3rd day after leaving the hospital, almost my 4th day I started feeling the withdrawal symptoms from not taking the medication anymore so I took the medication the FUCKING VA gave me!!!!!!!!! It almost killed me!!!!!! Nobody told me that this medicine has an opiate blocker in it and it counteracts with any opiate you have in your system and binds to your opiate receptors resulting in putting me into turbo withdrawals!!! I guess it’s called residual withdrawals and could kill you if you’re not in good shape before hand!!! If I could paint a picture of what that looks like… about 2 minutes after the medication desolves under your tongue (is how it says to take it) I got this sickening cold and intense cramping and a feeling you get when you’ve done something wrong from the pit of my stomach up threw my chest and throat where I started sneezing uncontrollably and projectile vomiting as there is thick snot literally flowing out of my nose but it only gets worse… then you eventually have the feeling your anus is about to explode and diarrhea starts while your trying to puke in a garbage with this snot coming out of your face and in the mean time I’m trying to process what is happening to me!!! I really thought the pharmacy gave me the wrong meds or I took poison because I had no idea!!!!! I luckily had one of those cords in my bathroom that notifies staff to come and when they got there the girl was almost in tears when I was telling her what was happening to me!!! She didn’t waste time calling an ambulance she has heard of this in her training and knows it can be life threatening so they took me themselves to the ER in the nearest hospital where I really wanted them to kill me or put me to sleep because it was the worst thing I’ve ever felt in my life. And not to mention how embarrassing it was for me with all the other people with their kids and their families are watching an ex soldier who fought his heart out for this country looked like a big junkie begging the doctors to give me meds to counter the effects it was sad and one of the worst days in my life!! Thanks VA!!! If this ever makes it to video I can go into more detail about things and I’ll try to bring as much light to the situation as possible. Thanks for everyone who took the time to read this!! ❤

Sadly, trauma was removed from the DSM right before the war began or as it began -- consequently, American vets couldnt get treatment for it and it wasn't reinstated until the Vietnam Vets movement called for that. That should NEVER happen again -- our vets could have received treatment earlier. Thank you for your service and I hope this never repeats for any other group of veterans.

I ended up on exchange to Europe during the Bosnian war.
