This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

I am active duty Navy and I was diagnosed with MS in 2009. I went through one medical board and was found fit for service but had a Individual Augmentation Deployment cancelled on me last year as a result. I had a flair up in December and am getting sent to a med board again. This time I don't think I will make it through. I guess it is for the best though. They won't let me go to sea anymore and without my Department Head ride, I am a terminal LT. I just hope they medically retire me!

From all the post I am reading. I guess it depends on where you are at. I am at Fort Sam Houston. I have MS and had it for 5 years without any profiles. Or got put in for any Med Board process. I still do PT and take the AFPT. I am an instructor at Camp Bullis (medic). My neurologist said , just give him the word and he will start my med board. But for the most part I am doing fine. Workout and run but I think it is the yoga that helps the most with my balance. I do not think I will be found fit for duty but I plan on putting in for my Med Board soon and asking to get medically retired. But the med board process can take awhile even here at Fort Sam where they train people (doc's) how to do the med boards. But at this point I just want to get out ensuring that my medication is covered and my Neuro appts are covered.
