Not exactly sure what "therapy" would be considered based on the last 3 years .....he has been going to the VA medical center for once a month counseling and once a month to see his medicine manager..psycologist? To bad every 4-6 months those doctors quit and another "new" doctor comes on board to start all over again. Of course the VA putting him on one medication, then two, then three to up one to a dosage that is not even recommnded, then to have medicine coming in the mail until he has over a 6 month supply and not keeping track of that concerns me.

Lastly, I finally go with him to an appointment, (took me 3 years to get him to agree) to ask the counselor what exactly is his "diagnosis and why is he on the medications he is and why is he getting so many" (we had already requested a copy of all his therapy notes and his VA diagnosis for disability before coming in to confront her) for her to answer " he has PTSD" so I ask what about the borderline personality disorder? She says "who says he has that? Uhmmmm, the VA's own records!!!

This then goes onto a discussion as to her whipping out a book to read us what borderline personality disorder is..."we already read up on it" and I ask her, when where you all going to treat that too? She says " I suspected he had that and was going to start working on that next year...(this was December 08) needless to say I was mad and asked her what the heck have they been doing for the last three years then?

Funny how that meeting did not seem to go to well....nor did the one the next week with the "new psycologist they hired" the 5th in 3 years?? That guy basically said the same...where did you all get that diagnosis from? Uhmmm again...you all! Could not explain the reason for the medication cocktail hubby is on plus said he could not schedule to sleep apneia test either like the counselor the week before said he could...so my hubby and I left that appointment frsutrated and with my husband finally getting what I had been telling him...he is NOT getting good care!

Now this week he had to see the VA's primary care doctor and they said they would order the sleep apneia test, but as for the medicines I was not there to question that, so I am not sure what to do being my husband will just take what ever they give him, does not see his own side effects and really does not care anymore at times...

All this is frustrating!
