Can I Be Medically Discharged From The Navy Because I Have Sleep Paralysis?

Alan — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:18:48 +0000

I have a sleeping disorder called sleep paralysis, it happens once to twice a week for about a year now. I have been in the Navy since 2007. I would like to go to medical about the situation and have it diagnosed and treated, but am fearful for repercussions, mainly medical discharge. I love the Navy and would like to be in it until my enlistment ends in 2011, so I don’t want to tell the doctor if it might get me discharged.

Us Navy Administrative Discharge?

Alan — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:56:35 +0000

I am an enlisted navy personnel, an E-3, AD for 1.5 yr now. I was on LIMDU and medical board for 4 months before I was returned to duty by my military psychiatrist. After RTD, I undergone a sea duty screening and was found to be “assignment limited.” In addition to that, my psychiatrist also recommended an administrative discharge. I was diagnosed to have been suffering from Depression, Anxiety, Psyhcoses and Somatization disorder. Right now, my command admin is waiting to receive the PERS 40BB direction about my separation for them to start the discharge process. Before my military psychiatrist made the recommendation, he referred me to a Sleep Study Doctor for my insomnia, and the result came out lately; I have an obstructive sleep apnea. With this result, I don’t know how will my treatment program with the sleep medicine will continue. I still have 3 more sessions with my sleep medicine doctor to complete, but it might not happen anymore as the discharge order may come out anytime in the next few days. Right now I am using a CPAP machine as part of the treatment. Also my military neurologist referred me to a civilian clinic to undergo physical therapy and rehab for my chronic dizziness and unresolve vertigo. I also have on going consults with hearing loss and tinitus with a civilian doctor as per referral by my neurologust. I know all of this will be stopped once the admin discharge comes to the fore. I am thinking of consulting my military PCM about the latest findings and my current treatment programs. I don’t know if he could make it to put me in LIMDU or Medboard due to the new medical findings. And if he would do so, would it prevent the decision of the PERS 40BB to administratively discharged me? Are there other ways to have my treatment and consult completed using tricare insurance after the discharge? I shall greatly appreciate any information you will share. Thank you!

Would Obstructive Sleep Apnea Disqualify Me From Passing Overseas Screening For A Navy London Assignment?

Alan — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:28:16 +0000

My navy husband and I are scheduled to move (PCS) to London, England. I have a few health issues like high blood pressure, but they’re well managed and under control. However, now I’ve been told I’ll need to use a BiPap machine (basically forced air to keep my airway open during sleep) for my apnea. Does anyone know if this will put me into the Exceptional Family Member category? We’re all so excited about this assignment, and I’d hate to lose it over this.
