About D.L.Swanson

 in response to ekikaseven...   The doctors at the VA Clinic here are still trying to track that down, unfortunately this condition could be what they call GWS : Gulf war syndrome. Its likely that it could be PTSD(post-traumatic stress disorder). Until I am 100 % service connected, I will be tossed around , like i have been since 2006.. once Im 100% service connected, I will be able to recieve treatment in Washington D.C., the main VA center where I will e able to see the top specialists, or so they tell me.. Prayer, patience and alot of pain meds will see me through until that day.

About D.L.Swanson

Hello. my name is David Swanson, and I was Honorably Discharged after 4 years in the US Navy. I was enlisted from August 1989 to July 1992 and served in the Desert Storm-Shield theaters aboard a Naval Aircraft Carrier. Im also a Disabled Veteran & I have been receiving treatment since 2005 and have been diagnosed with reflex sympathetic nerve pain dystrophy.

I am confined to a wheel chair and cannot walk because of very sever pain in my feet & Legs. I am on many medications such as Morphine, Transdermal Patches(Morphine Patches) and 4 different types of anti depressants and other medications for high blood pressure and A condition of the the heart called Afib. I take about 25-30 prescription medications a day & I am pretty much confined to a couch or bed all day, and have to use a walker to get to the bathroom. Im almost 100% dependant on my family and my wife Kathy. I am currently asking my Congressman for help, Congressman Mac Thornberry (TX-13) is currently trying to assist me in my plight for 100% Service Connection. 

As you can see, my wife does not have time or the ability to hold a job and take care of me and our 4 children , so we have been on food stamps and Medicaid for a few years now. We receive a cash gift from our local VA once a month and our friends try to help as well, but, some months, we struggle to make rent and utilities and make our car payment.
