Well Thank you for reminding me that I'm among the oldest. :rolleyes: Welcome to the forums Nex. Good place and people and a ton of info. Glad you made it back. JarHed

I deny everything that I've said up to this point in time, hmm............guess I'm too late for that. :rolleyes:

I always remember watching the Jetson's, wow just really dated myself there LOL!, and thinking of how cool is that. Now it's a reality. This world can be a really cool place if you can just find the right things to look at and connect with. :)

Hey All, I saw this and just thought of how cool it is. Not to promote any site or anything like that. Not an advert, or anything like that. Just something I thought is really cool. Just check out the video and disregard the rest...

OK, first thing I'll tell ya' is ebenefits is the worse piece of shit site ever. It tells you nothing and by the time it does update your info you've probably gotten a letter from the VA about what's going on anyway. Do yourself a favor, don't go there it only makes you more nervous about what's...

Yeah, if we knew then what we know now. Can't tell you how often that plays in my head as well. If you can document your actions at the time you can still apply for one if that's something you'd like. Work with a DAV or VFW rep for some help there as well.

Good points BG, It's unfortunate that there are and will always be people who abuse any system of help or treatment. It is hard to find acceptance for our condition when people are still harping on some of the issues that he brought up. As with many things here and abroad, it misses the point...

This guy and all of his ilk what one thing; to stir the pot. Anything and everything is fair game to them. He's not worth the time or effort except to hurt his business as Anthony mentioned. It would be funny though, if a hundred vets with PTSD showed up at his doorstep. That would make the...

Hey Loca I'm with you on that. It's hard to know sometimes if they're for real or not. But yes, it's odd. We're an open forum and you can find it on google, need I say more. Kinda' opens the door to all kinds of stuff. It could always be worse. I still don't know if it's for real or not. Like...

OK, Friday, to answer your question. This site is and has always been for Combat Vets with PTSD, nothing has changed with that nor is it likely to. The other PTSD site is for anyone with PTSD, period. As far as admins go, we still have the same abilities as before. Personally, I won't lock...

Hey Treva Think of it this way; you go into a bar where you know no one and start telling the people there about some 'snake oil' stuff that will change their lives. why would they even listen let alone believe a word you're saying. People here want to get to know someone before they're going...

I started last year with a flu shot, first time ever. Guess I'll be on board for that now. This whole ebola mess seems to, as always, point out how we're late to the dance. Don't want to make this about that but it is more than scary. I'm paranoid enough about going out in public, don't need...

Hey Anthony, Great new layout and the Crowd Moderation system is super. I'm sure many will feel better to have more of a voice as far as some threads are concerned. Great Job! Well Done! Jar

As someone that has spent a lot of time in the hospital due to being wounded and some other things as well, needles are not my friend. And any injection into the spinal canal is not without risk. It seems like every so often someone comes up with a way to alleviate the symptoms of PTSD. Call me...

Hey Sarg, Good to see ya' Bro. And I also agree with your statement. Today it's complicated, although the mindset is still the same. I had one good VSO from the DAV. He was instrumental in getting me the ratings and setting me in the right direction to get help with my PTSD. He cared. It's...

Sadly, the organizations that are out there to help vets all have their own political agenda. I remember a time when you couldn't sue the VA about your claim. Hard to believe in a country that is gone crazy with law suits. At least today there are some options. The reality for veterans is that...

Let's be honest when we say that there will always be a dynamic, how very pc of me, between men and women. But there is also a dynamic between men and other men, it's just a very human part of us. I also think that those things aside people that can do a job and are qualified should be given the...

The time will come, perhaps in the near future, where it won't even be a consideration or thought of as being different. If someone can do the job they deserve the chance to do it.

Welcome Home. Glad you're still alive and kickin'.

Hey Ned, Thought maybe the cat was havin' kittens. Good to see ya'.

Hey Alex Welcome and I'm glad you made it back. It's no consolation that you're not alone in your feelings. But at least here people do understand. JarHed

I both understand and agree with being on as little and as few meds as possible. You're right that the system is such that you don't know what they'll do next. I too try to control it myself, as much as possible. I'd still consider a small dosage at this point to help ease so of your symptoms...

Hey Dutchie, The first question that I would ask is did you just quit taking the med or meds or did you taper off of them. I was on a depression med a while back, a SSRI, it helped when I needed it but I got no help from the doctor on how to get off of it. Did my research and realized the...

Yeah, I'm with you Anthony. When I'm out I like to be out. Don't need the constant input. I was at a large garden in my area over the weekend photographing. It's called Longwood Gardens if you'd like to google it, it's pretty amazing. I was sitting taking a break and of course watching people...

I'm sure you're right Griz, it's just a matter of time. I'm a tech and tool using person but always try to use what's appropriate for my needs. Right now a simple phone does the job.
