Wives perferably. please answer? (friend of tiffany's)?

Question

Be mature with your answers because I'm being serious. Anyways My husband is in the army, and I have a sickness which hasn't been found yet but doctors think they might know whats wrong, but the sickness comes and goes daily. He is currently out in the field for training not far from home just on base, but where we live now (where he's stationed) we have no family or friends because we're new here, and I am in need of his help. The pain and stuff makes it hard for me to stand or move about to cook etc. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do? He said he spoke with his supervisor and there was nothing they could do. But I want to know whether or not there really was something I could do. The supervisors etc already know my situation.

Please be honest and mature no stupidity. thank you

Answer 1

My experience with the military medical system has shown me that once the military figures out what is wrong with you, they usually do a pretty good job fixing it.  My wife has a few minor, yet chronic, issues that the Army helps with, it just takes time to get through the system.  Keep pushing your case with your Doctor, and with Tricare, and with the post hospital.  Do not expect the Army to do much for you until you get a diagnosis.  Once you get that diagnosis, then you have a position to start from.

Get active with the Family Readiness Group, as much as you can.  The more spouses you get to know, the more support you will get, and the more people you will have to get advice from.  Also, your Husband's supervisor's wife is probably part of FRG; and she may go to bat for you with her husband.  (don't hint to her to do this, or accuse her husband of not caring; just explain what your situation is, and ask her for advice).

Good Luck

Answer 2

Asked to see a specialist or a different doctor.  If the military doctors cant find it. They should send you to a civilian doctor.  At least that's how the AF is.

Answer 3

I think what you are askin is can they let him come home to help.

I don't think so, I wish I had better news. As far as I know there is nothing he can file or apply for, at least while he is still in training.

I wish you the best, maybe some of the other people can help. There is a ton of people who are recruiters and such.

Answer 4

First of all Iam not sure where you are stationed but them saying they cant take you cause you are not in the army is stupid if you are married and enrolled in tricare you get free medical care and also if you are not feeling well and he is close and just doing field time and you are feeling horrible then he can request emergency leave.

Answer 5

I read your post a few times and I am not 100% clear on what you are asking.

Are you trying to get extra financial aid?

Are you asking if you can get a Personal Aid assigned to you at no cost?

It sounds like the Army has told you they are not able to help you with whatever it is you need. You are an Army Wife and you live under there rules.
