My discharge from the military, based on bogus junk, other wise, how did I get 100% from the VA??? So, yes there is a story, but it comes much much later… this is circa 1983 and I am a walking drug store by the time 1988 comes around, so what happened???

When I got out of the military on a honorable… I was on something to help me sleep, something to help my pain, something to help this or that and it got to the point, when we returned to the USA from Japan in 87… I was by all accounts on drugs and some of them could have been addictive…

I’ll see If I can remember them all…

Elavil, valium (If I wanted it), Cyclobenzaprine, Chlorazapam, (some I won’t spell right) HRT, Gerd, Depression… I know there are more, because even Homer remembers my taking a dozen meds given to me by the military and the VA continued them ….

By 1996, I told Homer, I can’t do this anymore and I slept in the other bedroom for a couple weeks as my body detoxed from all the drugs the VA had me on….

It would take until the memory trigger on Hawaii in 2017, for me to stop the last drugs they had me on… Thyroid, levothyroxine, my thyroid was fine… Gerd med and something else…

Now I take, BP meds and cholesterol, those I need… Pain med is over the counter…

The amount of drugs, and the dosage of some of those caused so many problems for over 20 years… by 2017, I was ready to take the risk, I didn’t need medications, including BP meds and cholesterol… I own it, those I need… Genetics…

All the drugs to calm my nerves, or to help me sleep or to impact the restless leg syndrome or to make my gerd quit or to stop the depression or to relax my muscles in spasm… None of them helped, in fact… I should have never been on any medications, because it was my brain injuries that threw my blood tests off for decades… and science recently agreed with that… I knew that by 2017, but needed proof… Not needing the meds wasn’t enough for some doctors…

What all this tells me… I had a stroke since Homer and I got married and it was probably when the El Paso VA operated on my leg in 2011 and I accused them of wrong doing on the operating table and you got it… they buried me and the truth… but that MRI on Hawaii in 2019 says I have had bleed(s) on the brain and I know for a fact, more than one…

Memory is coming back, like this one about the medications the military and the VA had me on and how fucked up my body and brain became because of their ignorance and not listening to me… It took a MRI on Hawaii in 2019, to finally get the VA head’s out of it’s own ass!!!

I am relaxing, letting my guard down, allowing my thoughts to wander… I know from what neurology told me, I may never remember everything I lost from all these bleed(s)… but if I get any or some, it’s more than I had…

Living with amnesia is not a walk in the park… Think of it this way, it is way worse than dementia…

I remember…
