I would think he could have a VA advocate step in and get him to a facility that could nail this down. I do not have expertise in this. I just use the VA myself. I think we have members who are advocates or work for service orginizations and I hope they see this.

No idea if he'll qualify, but it's a direction to check. |

Does the VA not refer patients to specialists outside of the system?
I came down with a case of vertigo for a few days and it was absolutely miserable. I couldn't even sit up in bed. Dealing with that alone, everyday

When Dugan disappeared and then came back briefly, I heard he was suffering. But seeing him like that and with only VA to rely on. Damn, that is harsh. Donated.

bumping and subscribing.
His videos were comic genius, and it's really sad that he is suffering. What unfinished project was he talking about, CL-20? He was developing some kind of tannerite for commercial sale? |

Horrible. He can go to an outside specialist on the VA dime. I hope that his family can figure that out.

Thats why you have to love the time on earth you have while you have it. Maybe the he stressed himself too much with all the worry about the state of the country. I wish him well, he was a funny ass dude back in the day.

I don't know if anyone else has dealt with MS either personally or through loved ones, but W.N.P Barbellion's story is worth a read, or if not his entire book/diary, just read about how he came to learn his diagnosis, and started writing intending for publication.

MS is fuckin scary. My Aunt has it, but has learned over the years how to keep her symptoms under control.
Cognitive decline is definitely something that scares the shit outta me, but I hope he gets a little bit of relief soon. |

FYI… People with multiple sclerosis can qualify for Medicare coverage before age 65 if Social Security determines that they are permanently disabled and they have received Social Security disability benefits for 24 months. People with MS will also be eligible for Medicare when they reach age 65 if they receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits. Individuals who retire early, and decide to receive Social Security retirement benefits at age 62, must still wait until they are 65 to receive Medicare. |

Tough watch, donation given.
I've MS myself for about 15 years now, very thankfully I have had a very mild case, no new lesions in over a decade and I am more or less fine right now with the medication I am on. Looks like he has had a really bad case to be in that rough of shape after a little over a decade. Staff please make this a pinned thread if possible |

If he has the relapsing remitting form of MS (which I think he said he did?), then he can still live out the rest of his life. Now I'm not saying every day is easy, but it doesn't need to be the end.
My uncle has Progressive MS (the worse of the two evils), and while he's certainly not able to get around as well as he did 15 years ago, he's still alive and in fact is going on a cruise next week. He has bad days, but also has good days. My aunt's boyfriend also has MS and is in a wheelchair, but the dude wakes up every day with a smile and lives life to the fullest extend he's able to. Obviously, not everyone's case is the same, but MS isn't a death sentence. Attitude is a huge part of it. That seems to be the hardest part of the battle from what I've seen. Everyone is different of course. I do think Dugan should take care of his emotional state as much as his physical one. I hope he gets the help he needs - not just for his vertigo and cognitive issues, but his emotional state of mind as well. |

It is also much more impact sensitive than HMX and RDX which is why we don't use it. It is credited as being developed at China Lake, hence the CL and is one of the last things I would recommend DIYers experiment with at home. |

I’d link to the relevant video, but it was on DLive and he nuked all of those videos. I’m also not saying he was going to do a DIY on that exact compound. He was researching different things. ETA: He just wanted to teach people how to make demo because the knowledge could be useful during tyrannical times. There was no financial incentive. |
