    • Close War & Terrorism

      Iraq war veteran. Surgery on left ankle twice. Ankle is useless. I have exhausted the military medical system and I will be medically retired, not what I had planned or what I want. Looking forward to being able to run in the future, with or without the leg.

      Treatments

      Amputation Considering
      Hopefully the Army will do the right thing.
    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      Iraq war veteran. Severe injury to lower left leg. PTSD diagnosis use to be fatal in the Army, not any more.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Counseling has helped me tremendously. I see seperately a therapist and a psychiatrist each once a week.
      Remeron Not Working
      I have trouble sleeping and this drug effected me by keeping me up even more so then without. I now take another drug which does work.
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Trazodone seems to be the best sleep med for me. Where ambien and remeron failed, this works great.
    • Open Depression

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I call it the knee enlarger visits. Sounds better then seeing the head shrink.
    • Open Military Families

      Iraq veteran. Medical hold for 1 1/2 years. Deployed for 26 months from home.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked

    • Open Amputees

      Iraq vet, lower left leg reconstructed Apr 06, foot and ankle not working and very painful. Working with the Army toward having foot replaced. This is an easy decision for me. The whole quality of life aspect.

      Treatments

      Reconstructive Surgery Not Working
      Stem cell did not work. Ankle replacement and fusion are not options. Bone is dead, blood flow is weak.
