I am glad I saw this! I was looking at your content relative to something unrelated and found this ray of hope for my spouse, who gave up even trying years ago!

I am a GW vet, and I am desperately needing help. There is no way I could get to you. I live literally three block from the main VA here, and I often have to reschedule my appointments because I cannot get to them because I don't feel good enough to go. Imagine how difficult it would be for me to get to Miami? I think you might have my email address or phone number because I have talked to someone from there before, several years ago. My name is Michael Hale, and live in El Paso, Texas. I have been wanting to go for many, many years, but I had logistical issues, and it never worked out. I am SEVERELY suffering from choring fatigue and illness for 33 years. I've had a headache for that long too, it's just a matter of how bad it is. I've been to WRIISC in Palo Alto a long time ago, and I have not really been helped by anyone for anything. As a matter of fact, the VA has not been helpful AT ALL. I would really appreciate help.
