Reply #1: They are still a godsend to Vets.

Warts and all, I would be long dead without them. I must say the civilian world was anxious to run every conceivable test on me and pass me about through all their departments. Of course the VA immediately claimed my problem was "Benign Fasciculations", which made something serious (benign is in the mind of the victim) into an insignificant issue as far as the records were concerned.They are either very good, very dismissive or very determined to assign a diagnosis.
