VA Extends Coverage for Gulf War Veterans
By Donna
Miles WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2010 – Veterans of the first Gulf War as well as current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan now have a smoother path toward receiving health-care benefits and disability compensation for nine diseases associated with their military service, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced today. A final regulation published in today's Federal Register relieves veterans of the burden of proving these diseases are service-related: Brucellosis, Campylobacter jejuni, Coxiella Burnetii (Q fever), Malaria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Nontyphoid Salmonella, Shigella, Visceral leishmaniasis and West Nile virus. Shinseki added the new presumptions after reviewing a 2006 National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine report on the long-term health effects of certain diseases suffered among Gulf War veterans. He also extended the presumptions to veterans of Afghanistan, based on NAS findings that the nine diseases are prevalent there as well. The new presumptions apply to veterans who served in Southwest Asia beginning on or after the start of Operation Desert Shield on Aug. 2, 1990, through Operation Desert Storm to the present, including the current conflict in Iraq. Veterans who served in Afghanistan on or after Sept. 19, 2001, also qualify.
Shinseki, who pledged to honor the 20th anniversary of the Gulf War by
improving health-care access and benefits for its 697,000 veterans,
the new presumptions represent a long-overdue step in addressing the
medical challenges many face. The new presumptions initially are expected to affect just under 2,000 veterans who have been diagnosed with the nine specified diseases, John Gingrich, VA's chief of staff, told American Forces Press Service. He acknowledged that the numbers are likely to climb as more cases are identified. With the final rule, a veteran needs only to show service in Southwest Asia or Afghanistan during the specified time periods to receive disability compensation, subject to certain time limits based on incubation periods for seven of the diseases. "It gives them easier access to quality health care and compensation benefits," Gingrich said. "The message behind that is that the VA is striving to make access to health care easier for our veterans who have served in our combat zones." He expressed hope that by providing quick, easy access, VA will help veterans get the care they need early on, without having to fight the bureaucracy. "When we find these presumptions and we reach out and get the veterans into our system, we can help them and give them the proper medical care they need, and maybe keep their disease from getting worse or getting it to go away altogether," he said. It also will help eliminate the piles of paperwork and long claims adjudication process veterans had to go through to prove their cases to receive care and benefits. "This will help break the back of the backlog in the long run, while sending a reassuring message to veterans that the VA is there for them," Gingrich said. He called the new presumptions part of Shinseki's effort to "create a culture of advocacy" within VA that builds trust as it reaches out to veterans. For Gingrich, a Gulf War veteran himself, the effort is very personal. He remembers being deployed as a 1st Infantry Division field artillery battalion commander during Operation Desert Storm, when one of his officers became very sick with an illness nobody could diagnose. "The medics couldn't diagnose it. We called in the doctors and they couldn't diagnose it. And eventually, he had to be medevaced back," he recalled. "And now here we are, 20 years later, and I saw him in Dallas in August, and he is still sick. You can't identify all the reasons and symptoms, but he is sick." Veterans deserve better, Gingrich insisted. "I believe that our veterans that served in uniform for our country deserve the absolute best care and benefits that we can provide," he said. VA provides compensation and pension benefits to more than 3.8 million veterans and beneficiaries, and received more than 1 million claims last year alone, VA officials reported. Veterans without dependents receive a basic monthly compensation ranging from $123 to $2,673.
VA Publishes Final Regulation on "Presumptive" Illnesses for Gulf War
and Iraq, Afghanistan Veterans VA Awards
Contract to Austin Clinic
"This new clinic will allow more Veterans to receive the timely, compassionate, high- quality care they have earned and will serve as a model for patient-centered care, said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. President Obama is committed to increasing access to Veterans' benefits and services, and this clinic will help us do that. It is good for Austin and good for Central Texas. Thomas C. Smith III, director of the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System, who oversees the Austin Outpatient Clinic, said the new 185,000-square-foot clinic will be three times as large as the existing clinic with almost twice the clinic staff. The clinic is scheduled to open in 2012 off Highway 71 on 35 acres near the intersection of Metropolis and Metlink, commonly called MetCenter. The location is very close to the existing VA outpatient clinic, making access easy for Veterans. The existing clinic opened in 1990 and was expanded in 1997. In 2008, VA leased 15,000 additional square feet in the Southgate Building to serve the growing number of patients. Expanded services at the new clinic will include oncology, chemotherapy, cardiac rehabilitation, ear, nose and throat (ENT) services, orthopedic services, minor surgeries, urology and gastroenterology. It will include space for an endoscopy suite, a computerized tomography (CT) scanner and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine, as well as more space for all the services provided at the current Austin VA location. The clinic will employ about 315 people, up from the current staff of 182. The Central Texas VA Health Care System serves more than 80,000 Veterans.
Scott Mendelson, M.D. Another sad story in the press. There have been four more suicides at Fort Hood, Texas. Military suicide numbers keep climbing. The rates of depression, PTSD and suicide are reaching startling proportions among soldiers and veterans. New programs begun by the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration are said to be designed to expand mental health care, and to make it more effective, palatable, and accessible to soldiers and veterans. They don't. As a psychiatrist employed by the VA who sees these broken soldiers on a daily basis, I find it infuriating and heartbreaking. The new Mental Health programs, referred to by the Department of Defense as the acronym RESPECT-mil, and by the Veterans Administration as TIDES, are based on the Hamburger Helper model of health care. That is, if real care is too expensive, then dilute it with cheap care, fluff it up, advertise it well and make it look there is more there than there actually is. This brilliant new idea of the Veterans Administration and Department of Defense is intended to direct the psychiatric care of patients away from the people actually trained to provide this care, i.e., psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners, and to place their care in the hands of less expensive people with weeks rather than years of training in mental health. This perspective includes the notion that mental health care is best provided away from stigma in the primary care setting, and that soldiers can be managed by primary care doctors helped by nurses with eight weekends of training to become what are called, "Champions." The U.S. Government website says: "Welcome to the RESPECT-Mil Program. RESPECT-Mil stands for Re-Engineering Systems of Primary Care Treatment in the Military. It's a system of primary care designed to enhance the recognition and high-quality management of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression." It is in this opening statement that the intention to focus the treatment of mental health issues in primary care rather than the mental health clinic is noted. The website goes on to state: "RESPECT-Mil is a treatment model designed by the United States Department of Defenses' Deployment Health Clinical Center (DHCC) to screen, assess and treat active duty Soldiers with depression and/or PTSD. This program is modeled directly after a program that's proven effective in treating civilian patients with depression." Unfortunately, the evidence for this type of program being effective is some of the weakest data I have ever seen in my professional life. The evidence is derived almost entirely from a 2006 paper by psychologist Simon Gilbody and associates titled, "Collaborative Care for Depression" (Archives of Internal Medicine 166:2314-2312, 2006). This paper reviewed a series of studies of what is referred to in the "civilian" literature as the Collaborative Care for Depression Model. In this model, nurses are trained in roughly eight weekend training sessions to become "Depression Care Managers" or, in the military's more Pollyannaish term, "Champions." These Champions call regularly, report back to the primary care doctor, and if necessary, inform the primary care doctor that things are not going well and more help is needed. Admittedly, these are all good things. I was, however, astonished to hear at a Veterans Administration conference for the related TIDES program, that these Champions are also expected to advise the doctors as to when and if medication should be adjusted. In Gilbody's paper, 35 studies in which the Collaborative Care model was compared against "standard care" in the primary care setting were reviewed. What is so disturbing and completely unacceptable about these studies, and Gilbody's paper, is that "standard care" in the primary care setting was never described. In fact, it was admitted that "standard care" varied from place to place, from fairly good care in some sites to virtually no care in other clinics. In Gilbody's meta analysis, the Collaborative Care model faired quite well against "standard care." Unfortunately, due to the lack of definition of "standard care," all that can really be said about the Collaborative Care model that the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration has sunk it's hopes and resources into, is that it is almost certainly better than nothing! The Collaborative Care model has not been compared against the mental health care provided by trained mental health professionals in mental health clinics. I do believe that contact and communication from "Champions" can be very supportive and beneficial to soldiers and veterans. However, this would be if it were in addition to competent mental health care, not in lieu of it! I have heard the argument that "specialty" behavioral health, i.e., real mental health professionals, is still available in the system. However, I believe that if the money being devoted to RESPECT-mil and TIDES were diverted to hiring real mental health professionals, there might be a better chance of actually improving things. Finally, the addition of the new, highly touted, "Resiliency Training" as a method to avert depression, PTSD and suicide completes the recipe for inadequacy, incompetence, and disaster in the treatment of mentally ill soldiers and veterans. The 10 hour course on resiliency is taught by "Master Trainers" who themselves are soldiers who have had 10 days of training to become skilled enough to encourage resiliency and strength, and to prevent suicide in their charges. What are these people thinking? The Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration need to take steps now to hire a sufficient number of competent, well trained mental health professionals, not Champions or cheerleaders, to treat the soldiers and veterans now suffering from military related illnesses. These must include psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatric nurse practitioners. There are no shortcuts. As a psychiatrist who sees and treats our veterans of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam on a daily basis, I can guarantee you that this problem will not go away any time soon. VA expands program to bring EHRs to the home
By Mary Mosquera The Veterans Affairs Department plans to expand its use of information technology and telecommunications – including mobile and landline phones and video conferencing – to deliver health care to aging veterans and others who suffer from chronic conditions, according to senior telehealth official. In fiscal year 2010, VA recorded 300,000 health care encounters in 36 specialty areas with the assistance of telehealth technologies, according to Dr. Adam Darkins, VA's chief consultant for telehealth services, who spoke at an Oct. 12 conference on telehealth sponsored by West Wireless Health Institute, a medical mobile technology researcher. The VA has now begun to analyze data from these programs as part of a long-term goal to change the location of care from the hospital to where the patient is, he said. The plan is ultimately to, "extend the electronic health record into the home." "No evidence suggests that the best way to manage chronic conditions is in the hospital or office because they return again," Darkins said. Prime treatment targets include diabetes and hypertension in older veterans or traumatic brain injury suffered in battle by younger veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among the VA's major telehealth programs, the Care Coordination Home Program, which has 48,000 participants nationwide, enables senior veterans to continue to live at home instead of in an assisted living facility unless symptoms demand that a physician intervene. So far, the program has reduced by 47 percent the number of days of facility provided medical care, Darkins said. The technology has also lowered costs by reducing or avoiding the time spent in assisted living facilities. Over the next two years, VA plans to increase participation in this program by 100 percent. A companion effort, the VA's Clinical Video Tele-health Program, uses video conferencing so patients can consult with a specialist from the office of their primary physician in VA community clinics. This program has 75,000 participants, most of whom reside in rural areas and have mental health conditions and need rehabilitation support. VA is about to pilot Internet video conferencing in the patient's home as part of this effort. The Defense Department is also testing mobile health applications to extend patient management of healthcare for active service members. One of its findings is that patients prefer to use their own phones as telehealth devices. Forty percent of the participants in a recent test of an application to send patients messages about their diabetes management did not even use the smart phone provided to them. "We early on decided that we're going to do mobile health on patients' preexisting cell phone," said Dr. Col. Ronald Poropatich, deputy director of the U.S. Army Medical Research & Materiel Command and Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center. "If you give them an extra device, they'll leave it at home." Many current veterans are under 30 years old and have grown up engaging with friends and family over the Internet, said Tom Tarantino, legislative associate for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. "It's jarring to be thrown into an industry when they come for health care that's not anywhere near in patient engagement to what they're used to," he said. IRS ruling will keep thousands of veterans from using Health Savings Accounts· October 13th, 2010 10:01 am ET · By Susy Raybon, Military Community Examiner It's time for open enrollment on insurance plans for thousands of companies and their employees across America. Many corporations are changing health care insurance options available to their employees; much of that change is cost-shifting in response to the new Health Care Plan recently passed by the government. Some employers are now offering only high deductible health plans (HDHP) with the options being $1500 or $3000 annual deductibles. To help defray some of the out-of-pocket expenses on those HDHPs, companies are giving their employees a Health Savings Account. The HSA accounts are "seeded" or partially funded by the employer. Employees are eligible to continue adding funds to the account with monthly pre-tax contributions; that is unless you are a veteran who also uses the VA. By law, only employees who have a high deductible plan are eligible to use health savings accounts. Why would this hit the radar of the National Military Examiner? Because due to a 2004 IRS law there is an unintended consequence for military veterans who would otherwise benefit from employer funded health savings accounts. A veteran who has used the Veterans' Administration three months prior to enrollment is NOT eligible to make Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions or receive HSA funds contributed by their employer, even if that service was for a war-related injury or illness. Additionally, military (or retired) personnel who use TRICARE or the Veterans' Administration hospital are not eligible to use an HSA because coverage options do not meet the minimum annual deductible requirements. In a nutshell, this IRS ruling means work-force veterans will not be able to use millions of dollars in employer funded Health Savings Accounts that are made available to their non-veteran co-workers. Many of these veterans have recently served combat tours. This IRS law is an obvious oversight with an unintended consequence by lawmakers. U.S.Senators and Representatives need to have this IRS ruling called to their attention for immediate revision. Examiner's Note: Being perfectly clear, this is an IRS ruling and has nothing to do with employers, other than the fact they have chosen to offer only high deductible plans to their employees. The following is an excerpt from the IRS ruling: Q-5. If an otherwise eligible individual under section 223(c)(1) is eligible for medical benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), may he or she contribute to an HSA? A-5. An otherwise eligible individual who is eligible to receive VA medical benefits, but who has not actually received such benefits during the preceding three months, is an eligible individual under section 223(c)(1). An individual is not eligible to make HSA contributions for any month, however, if the individual has received medical benefits from the VA at any time during the previous three months. Q-6. May an otherwise eligible individual who is covered by an HDHP and also receives health benefits under TRICARE (the health care program for active duty and retired members of the uniformed services, their families and survivors) contribute to an HSA? A-6. No. Coverage options under TRICARE do not meet the minimum annual deductible requirements for an HDHP under section 223(c)(2). Thus, an individual covered under TRICARE is not an eligible individual and may not contribute to an HSA VA expands program to bring EHRs home October 15, 2010 | Mary Mosquera, Government Health IT WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to expand its use of information technology and telecommunications - including mobile and landline phones and video conferencing - to deliver healthcare to aging veterans and others who suffer from chronic conditions, according to senior telehealth officials.

Agent Orange: Thailand Military Bases
VA's 'Medical Team' Approach Reduces
Operating Room Mortality Rates WASHINGTON (Oct. 21, 2010)- A Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) study published October 20 in the Journal of the
American Medical Association concludes that a concept called Medical
Team Training (MTT) improves communication, teamwork, and efficiency in
VA operating rooms, resulting in significantly lower mortality rates. "Patients can suffer inadvertent harm at times, despite care from
well-trained, experienced, and conscientious health care providers," noted Dr. Douglas Paull, a VA surgeon and co-director of the Medical
Team Training program at VA's National Center for Patient Safety in Ann
Arbor, Mich. "The cause in many such instances is faulty teamwork and
communication. "Fortunately, teamwork and communication skills --often referred to
as non-technical skills-- can be measured, learned, practiced, and
enhanced," Paull continued. "The MTT Program improves these
non-technical skills among providers, delivering on the promise of a
safer health care system." VA's nationwide study involved the analysis of more than 100,000
surgical procedures conducted at 108 of its hospitals from 2006 to 2008. MTT had been introduced at 74 of these hospitals. The study found
that the decline in the risk-adjusted mortality rate was 50 percent
greater in the MTT group than in the non-MTT group. "MTT is all about communication," said Dr. Lisa Mazzia, who runs VA's
Medical Team Training Program along with Dr. Douglas Paull. "MTT
empowers every member of the surgical team to immediately speak up if
they see something that's not right." "When people talk and listen to each other, fewer errors occur in the
operating room. That's the bottom line," Mazzia added. `` Julia Neily, associate director of VA's National Center for Patient Safety Field Office in Vermont and one of the study's nine
authors, said conducting briefings prior to starting surgery, much like
pilot and crew work through a pre-flight checklist, proved to be a key
component in reducing mortalities because it gave the surgical team "a
final chance" to correct potential problems. Post-operative debriefings also proved valuable, the study found,
because they led directly to the prompt resolution of glitches that
occurred during surgery. Examples included fixing broken equipment or
instruments, ordering extra back-up sets of instruments, and improving
collaboration between the Operation Room and the Radiology Department
--all of which led directly to less delays while future surgeries were
in progress. Pre-operative briefings and post-operative debriefings are a
fundamental component of VA's MTT program, which VA's National Center
for Patient Safety began developing in 2003-2004. VA began implementing
a nationwide MTT program in 2006. To find out more about Medical Team Training, contact VA's National
Center for Patient Safety at 734-930-5884 or go to Drop in surgical deaths seen in
hospitals with team-trained staff
Morality rates Neily and her colleagues used data from the VHA Surgical Quality Improvement Program and interviews conducted between 2006 and 2009. The researchers analyzed 182,409 procedures performed at 108 VHA hospitals. The researchers found a baseline risk-adjusted mortality rate of 17 per 1,000 procedures at the trained hospitals vs. 15 per 1,000 procedures at the non-trained centers. Both types of centers showed mortality rates of 14 per 1,000 procedures at the end of the study. Impact of training "After controlling for baseline differences, the 74 trained facilities experienced a significant decrease of 18% in observed mortality," the researchers noted. "Mortality decreased by 7% in the non-trained facilities." After adjusting the results for surgical risk and volume, the researchers discovered that the morality rate dropped 0.5 per 1,000 procedure deaths for every quarter of training. In addition, they found that the rate was reduced by .6 per 1,000 procedures for each increase in the degree of debriefings at the centers. "It is our hypothesis that conducting preoperative briefings is a key component in reducing mortality because it provides a final chance to correct problems before starting the case," the researchers wrote. "The use of conducting briefings and debriefings requires a more active participation and involvement than sometimes occurs when a checklist is used by itself. During follow-up interviews, facilities provided specific examples of having avoided adverse events because of the briefing." Reference: Neily J, Mills PD, Young-Xu Y, et al.

Veterans Affairs agency shows pitfalls of single-payer
health system During the legislative fight over new federal health care legislation, a number of opponents warned the program would be the first step toward a government-run system, that Washington would slowly absorb all medical services while incrementally killing private insurance along the way. Obamacare supporters denied such a scenario, but too many — including President Obama — already were on the record as favoring a so-called "single-payer" system," that single payer being Uncle Sam. It remains to be seen whether Obamacare plays out that way. Already we know the program will cost more than advertised, and its mandates will force individual insurance premiums higher, as nonunion workers at Boeing now can affirm. Frequently, the Canadian and British health programs are cited as single-payer examples. But there's an even closer illustration: the Veteran's Administration medical system. In an article for National Review Online, the Cato Institute's Michael Tanner depicts a system stressed by heavy patient demand that has little choice but to ration care. The VA controls costs by limiting how much it can spend on care in a given year, Tanner writes. "When resources can't meet demand in a given year, the VA does what other single-payer systems do: it rations." Psychiatric and pharmaceutical services, for example, are constrained by resources, not based on patient need. The system is highly bureaucratized and when problems surface, "no one takes responsibility for fixing them," Tanner writes. Is this the future for all Americans? Maybe the distant future but, thanks to Obamacare, you can see it from here.
Editorial: Limbaugh takes
conservative health care to logical conclusion "What is wrong with privatizing the VA? What's wrong with privatizing? Somebody tell me where it's working! ... Would a Veterans Administration hospital that is run by the private sector be better run than by the public sector? In my view, yes." There, he said it. And it wasn't just anybody who said it -- it was a radio commentator no Republican in Congress dares criticize The quote was from Rush Limbaugh during his Oct. 15 radio broadcast. Give Limbaugh credit. While most politicians dance around the contradiction between opposition to government-run health care and the existence of government-run hospitals for military veterans, Limbaugh took conservative health care philosophy to its logical conclusion. If government-run health care really leads to shoddy care, rationing, inefficiencies, death panels, etc., then the VA should be privatized. The system could be turned over to a private vendor, or the whole system could be scrapped and veterans could be given a voucher similar to what Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Janesville) envisions to replace Medicare. Limbaugh's approach is consistent with conservative free-market philosophy. Whether it's in the best interests of veterans is another issue. Veterans generally prefer the system as it exists. In a 2005 independent survey, 81 percent of VA hospital patients expressed satisfaction with the care they receive, compared to 77 percent of Medicare and Medicaid patients. Wisconsin Congressman Ron Kind (D-La Crosse) told the Tomah Journal last week, "I have yet to have a veteran come up to me and say, 'Ron, please privatize the VA.'" There's good reason for their satisfaction. Take, for example, laptop medicine. The VA pioneered computerized administration of prescription drugs, which reduced the number of wrongly administered drugs and dosages to almost zero. All of this is a powerful argument against privatization, but at least Limbaugh has the courage of his convictions. He believes the horror stories of public-sector medicine in Europe and doesn't flinch from opposing such arrangements as they exist in the United States. His philosophy is clear and consistent. And that's more than can be said for almost anyone else who raises the bogeyman of socialized medicine. VA Going to
World Series Department Will Use Mobile Vet Centers for Outreach at Game Four ARLINGTON, Texas (Oct. 29, 2010)- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is partnering with the Texas Rangers and Major League Baseball to provide outreach and readjustment counseling to Veterans attending game four of the World Series Oct. 31. "VA's mobile Vet Centers improve access by providing counseling and outreach services where Veterans are going to be," said VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki. "With thousands of Lone Star Veterans on hand to see the Rangers try for their first World Series championship, this will be a great venue to reach out. VA is thankful to Major League Baseball for this opportunity." The mobile Vet Centers will be located on Nolan Ryan Boulevard between the Home Plate and First Base gates on the west side of Rangers Ballpark and will be on site the entire day of the game for Veterans and their families to stop in for confidential counseling or to inquire about other VA services. VA has a fleet of 50 mobile Vet Centers to support readjustment counseling for combat Veterans and their families throughout the U.S. where area facilities may not be close by. The mobile Vet Centers complement 270 Vet Centers across the Nation that exist as walk-in support centers, providing counseling and connection to local services for Veterans adjusting to civilian life after combat. The mobile Vet Centers are customized vehicles outfitted to house two mental health counseling offices and a small waiting room. They can also be converted with portable exam tables to provide basic medical care and are outfitted with litters, a wheelchair lift and rear doors to provide emergency patient evacuation capabilities. Three mobile Vet Centers responded to the Fort Hood shooting tragedy Nov. 5, 2009. With augmented staff, more than 8,200 Veterans, active duty Servicemembers and families were provided readjustment counseling. VA Begins
Paying Benefits for New Agent Orange Claims VA Encourages Affected Vietnam Veterans to File Claims WASHINGTON - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has begun distributing disability benefits to Vietnam Veterans who qualify for compensation under recently liberalized rules for Agent Orange exposure. "The joint efforts of Congress and VA demonstrate a commitment to provide Vietnam Veterans with treatment and compensation for the long-term health effects of herbicide exposure," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. Up to 200,000 Vietnam Veterans are potentially eligible to receive VA disability compensation for medical conditions recently associated with Agent Orange. The expansion of coverage involves B-cell (or hairy-cell) leukemia, Parkinson's disease and ischemic heart disease. Shinseki said VA has launched a variety of initiatives - both technological and involving better business practices - to tackle an anticipated upsurge in Agent Orange-related claims. "These initiatives show VA's ongoing resolve to modernize its processes for handling claims through automation and improvements in doing business, providing Veterans with faster and more accurate decisions on their applications for benefits," Shinseki said. Providing initial payments - or increases to existing payments - to the 200,000 Veterans who now qualify for disability compensation for these three conditions is expected to take several months, but VA officials encourage all Vietnam Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange and suffer from one of the three diseases to make sure their applications have been submitted. VA has offered Veterans exposed to Agent Orange special access to health care since 1978, and priority medical care since 1981. VA has been providing disability compensation to Veterans with medical problems related to Agent Orange since 1985. In practical terms, Veterans who served in Vietnam during the war and who have a "presumed" illness do not have to prove an association between their illnesses and their military service. This "presumption" simplifies and speeds up the application process for benefits. The three new illnesses - B-cell (or hairy-cell) leukemia, Parkinson's disease and ischemic heart disease - are added to the list of presumed illnesses previously recognized by VA.

@roundhouse Like, Duuude . . . umm . . .dude? Um, have you seen the brownies, man?
@SeanMichaelPatrickMurphySean, that was flippin' funny! LMAO!
Yeah, yeah, "warm".
Stay warn, guys! Good "W" tonight! Congratulations. Luke was pretty good in that last 2 min or so, roundhouse. Aloha!
Wow! Ridnour has come up huge in the last couple of minutes!
@roundhouse How about George Mikan?
@roundhouse I know. No worries. It was kind of a weird injury. One day at football practice in HS, our starting RB's Achilles' tendon just snapped - he wasn't touched on the play, a routine sweep - 20-yd, TD. Out for the season.
@roundhouse Ummmm . . . .ok. Huh? (Understand that Stern's veto irritated me more than slightly.)
Maybe I should take off my shoes when I try to add two numbers? 48-39.
Mo Williams has 14 in the first half against the Celtics. Clips up nine, 46-39!
BTW, wha'd I say on the other forum about "no way the 'Wolves hold the Suns under 100!"? LOL! 122-115 final. "W" to the 'Wolves!
@Minnesota Polars @CollegeWolf Gortat tore it up against the Lakers last week.
Looks like Williams is off to a good start tonight!
@CollegeWolf Thanks.
CW: Can you hit me with that link to get the live feed? Thanks!
@roundhouse Roundhouse - as a Laker fan, thanks for saying that. I only saw the replay of it, but that was my take. What I saw, kind of reminded me of when you see a running back get his cletes caught in the turf when he plants to cut. Ricky was moving quickly, trying to get in Kobe's face. When he planted, he just started to buckle.
Well, guess I'm sorry I missed this one, especially after reading the comments above. ROFLMAO!
I didn't get home to catch any of the game via any media - just caught the score on the ticker tape on "Highlight Express." From the score, it appears it might have been a good game. Suppose I'll have to go checkout the boxscore and the comments.
Gutty win for the 'Wolves. Aloha!
That would have been, "Oh, my!"
Short-armed that one!
CP3 didn't miss that by much!
You guys holding your collective breaths?
Just when it looked like it was all over!
Couple NFL teams could use a combo tight end/fullback that size. Love is a beast today!
Looking at that replay, Blake might have saved Luke from a serious injury.
Game is a bit sloppy.
THAT is an answer!
What push? LOL!
K-Love is all over the place today, isn't he! Nice game.
Same thing that happened just before the half! It got eroded!
@tcsnyder @SeanMichaelPatrickMurphy Blake is having a pretty good game, too - not quite up to Love's, but way better than his last two or three.
Who's that 6'10" SG you guys picked up?
@WallyWorld Do I have to answer all of the above in one session? LOL!
Moving here is much longer than this, but . . . younger brother is here for the 2nd time. Opened the "Kona Inn" in '79 and returned to mainland in '84. Came back in '05 and took over Huggo's (in Kona 43 yrs) and Huggo's on the Rocks not quite 4 yrs ago. Meanwhile, place I managed in Lake Charles, LA, closed. Little bro' said, "Hey, c'mon over!" So, I did. We grew up on the beach in Manhattan Beach, CA, so it's like goin' home, y'know?
Stumbled upon you guys last year, probably somewhat influenced by margaritas . . . but, I digress. Just got involved in the discussion about Rubio. Think that I had caught the "Wolves and Clippers and was cruising around to see if I couldn't find a place to get into a discussion about those teams and, especially, some of those players like Blake, Love, Beasley, etc.
What was nice for me was being accepted into the group immediately, despite the fact that I warned everyone that I am a lifelong Laker fan! ROFLMAO!
Yes, I have purchased Crystal Farms on numerous occasions, so your job should be safe for now! Think I get it mostly at WalMart, but maybe also at KTA.
Yeah, I live in Kailua Kona, west coast of the Big Island. Got here Father's Day, 2010 - Happy Father's Day to me, huh?
Tried to jump in earlier, but the connection was giving me trouble. Sure it has something to do with being on the far side of the world's tallest mountain (measured from the base) and that said mountain is made primarily of lava, which, if I recall correctly, has a fairly high iron content. No problem with electronics & radio signals, whatsoever.
Overall, seemed like a good game for you. Couple of others played well, to
Nice "W"! Was kind of caught up watching the sunset here, but had the game on. Picked up about mid-2nd. It was good that the 'Wolves were able to hold off the 'Blazers every time they tried to climb back in. Very nice game for Love. Rubio's 10 assists in the 1st are very impressive. Little sucker is fast, isn't he?
Re: "The Jigsaw Man"
Reporter: "How you feelin', Man?
Jigsaw: " Dude, you got anything for a migraine?"
Aloha, y'all! Looks like you finally have this one in hand. LOL! Why are the 'Wolves teasing the "Blazers like that?
@WallyWorld Should have seen her aunt!
@CollegeWolf Hope the 'Wolves brought their runnin' shoes! The Suns are to offense what the Lakers have become to defense. To be honest, I don't remember the Lakers playing "D" like this ever before.
Later, guys. Better luck next game. I do root for you - just not against the Clippers or Lakers. LOL!
Looks like I might be wrong. 76 pts with 2:46 to play, Hmmmmm . . . . ?
Oops. Misunderstood the comment. Bynum already had 21 double-doubles, tying his career best. He got his 22nd just moments ago. Kobe just hit 31. Keep the mask on, Kobe!
Y'know, think it was that last roadtrip before the break. The Lakers went into Boston and won in OT. Ugly game. U-G-L-E!!!! (Did that on purpose - in case you wondered.) Won a couple of tough games, then took one in the shorts. You guys won a tough one last night. These days, the likelihood that any team comes into LA and even wins one is not a real good bet. Winning a double - I'd bet all your money against it! Lakers were rested, Kobe played. Love didn't. That's pretty much the story.
Ball didn't even get off the shooter's fingertips before Bynum swatted it!
@roundhouse Have you been out picking mushrooms in the pastures again? LOL!!

Hickey, Rouse Compete at 2013 USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships
June 20, 2013 DES MOINES, Iowa - Long Beach State had two athletes competing in the 2013 USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Drake Stadium on Thursday. Devin Hickey ran a solid 14.34 in the 110-meter hurdle prelims, but he finished just three spots out of qualifying for the finals. Hickey had a stellar freshman campaign as he was an All-Big West performer and NCAA West Preliminary qualifier. He placed 27th overall at the regional meet and was the runner-up at the Big West Championships, where he established a lifetime-best 14.20. That mark is also tied for 10th in school history. Conner Rouse competed in the men's pole vault, but was unable to clear the first bar which was set at 15-11. Rouse also wrapped up an outstanding freshman season that saw him register a personal-record 16-08.75 to win the pole vault at the Beach Classic. He added three more top-five finishes on the year and concluded the campaign with a 10th-place performance at the Big West Championships. Michael Perez-Rogers is set to run in the first round of the 400m tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. (PT). Former 49er and All-American Colin Dunbar will also compete in the hammer throw at the U.S. Open National Championships on Friday.

Happy frog of July.
It was actually much bigger than it appears in the photo. It left right before the otter showed up. Sadly I didn't get any photos of the otter because it hid.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was grateful to Shay Given after their victory over Stoke.
Mancini hugged Given at the end of the game after seeing the Irishman make a string of super saves.
"Shay Given made some great saves today and I rate him so highly," he told City's website.
"Shay gives everyone around him a sense of confidence and he can be pleased with his afternoon.
"We have worked hard these last few days and this was the reward for the team and the supporters.
"There were people playing in positions that are perhaps not their normal ones but everyone did well including Robinho who has not had a lot of football after his injury.
"I thought we were better in the first half than the second when we got a little tired. But now we must prepare properly for Wolves."

Want to post a match question to the forums?
It's easy! Simply click the "open for debate" link on any match question.
ShawnRavenfire Jul 7, 2010 Fuck this question. And fuck the people who think they need to keep asking it over and over and over. I know we're "supposed to" say that looks don't matter. But honestly, we ALL want a combination of both looks and personaltiy. Unless you're blind. | |
tjohnson4 Jul 7, 2010 Beauty fades. Stupid is forever. | |
JoeAverageSF Jul 7, 2010 Not, I am in total agreement with you. | |
jazja Jul 8, 2010 I just want to weed out the people who say "neither". | |
JoeAverageSF Jul 8, 2010 I want meet 'em and figure out what they're looking for. That shit is fascinating! | |
Morsetlis Jul 9, 2010 And the gay questions too. | |
MsOtis Oct 6, 2012 I just realized that the Question was written by the OP. So, the OP hates this question, and made it a permanent Match Question because he hates the question so much. Gotta admit, I lol'd. | |
MsOtis Oct 6, 2012 Oh, and I will say I go mostly by shoes. If the guy wears interesting shoes, that's more important than looks. I can't say 'personality' as well because, to my knowledge, guys who wear interesting shoes usually have very interesting personalities. | |
criticalflaw Oct 6, 2012 LOLOL! that made me laugh. well i am the one person who chose looks. what else is a bitch needed for besides opening her fucking legs. i don't need to have a conversation with her. | |
drearydancer Oct 6, 2012 Hmm, this is hard to say for me. Sometimes what gets my initial attraction is looks and sometimes it's other things. | |
Dezmonnd Oct 7, 2012 To me looks are the most important, but to girls personality is most important. [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/200r1jd.jpg[/IMG] It is particularly important if a personality characteristic is he is very rich | |
aliments Oct 13, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDLaQjAsGRQ I'll just leave this here | |
trishmar Oct 15, 2012 No beauty can make up for wanting to strangle someone every time they open their mouth so when it comes down to it personality wins but why would anyone not want a combination? | |
31 / m / Straight St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada | mr_steve-o Oct 15, 2012 This question is retarded. The fact that people ask it is fucking mind-blowing to me. Looks are almost completely unimportant to me. Really. I want to marry some 350-pound zitty bald lady wrapped in newspapers just to make a point out of it. |
MsOtis Oct 16, 2012 A great personality. People with great looks tend to be pampered and used to getting their ways, and as they get older their looks go by the wayside usually, but they still act spoiled. People with great personalities know that you can't take others for granted, and as they age they tend to get more and more interesting and fun to be around. | |
drearydancer Oct 16, 2012 Actually, it's not retarded but your sarcasm is lame. Sure looks are important but what is more important is different for everyone. quack ^.^ | |
fizzlykittens Oct 16, 2012 Looks. | |
Divis1onbyzer0 Oct 17, 2012 for a short term fling looks, for a long term relationship personality, but looks could still break the deal even if they had personality | |
Chaeddd Nov 28, 2012 Looks If Fizzlykittens wanted to be my girlfriend and I didn't like her personality, I would wear headphones and an ipod and turn up the volume so I couldn't hear what she was saying. Maybe we could work out a system where I would say "yes darling" when she winked her right eye, and no when she winked her left. | |
Not-So-naive Jan 23, 2013 looks then personality. I wouldn't be sexually attracted to someone's who doesn't have the look. |

COLUMBIA — Don't look to Missouri's victory over Texas last week to find a strategy for the Tigers to beat Kansas on Saturday. The Jayhawks and Longhorns are both ranked, but they present different obstacles.
After playing Texas last Saturday, Missouri coach Mike Anderson said that if you were to match Texas' five starters with MU's, there would be no way the Tigers could have won. Anderson credited the Tigers' depth for the victory over the then-No. 12 Longhorns. He said that Missouri wore down star Texas guards D.J. Augustin and A.J. Abrams. Augustin played all 40 minutes, and Abrams played 38.
Kansas (17-0, 2-0) vs. Missouri (11-6, 1-1)
WHEN: 7 p.m. Saturday WHERE: Mizzou Arena TV: ESPNU RADIO: KFRU/1400 AM, KBXR/102.3 FM SERIES: KU leads 164-93 1. The last team to beat Missouri at Mizzou Arena was Kansas on Feb. 10, 2007. Since then, MU has won 13 straight games at home. 2. The most points scored by one player in Mizzou Arena is 40 by Thomas Gardner against KU on Jan. 16, 2006. The most points scored by an opposing player is 33 by KU's Julian Wright on Feb. 10, 2007. 3. The most points an opposing player has scored against MU came on Feb. 26, 1972 when KU's Bud Stallworth scored 50. That is also the most points scored by any player in the MU-KU rivalry. 4. In the KU media guide, KU's Darnell Jackson and Mario Chalmers both list Mizzou Arena as the toughest arena they have played at. 5. According to an April 5, 1999 story from the Columbia Daily Tribune, current KU coach Bill Self was interviewed to replace MU's Norm Stewart when Stewart retired after the 1999 season. Self was the coach at Tulsa at the time. MU eventually hired Quin Snyder as Stewart's replacement.On Saturday night, Missouri is faced with a similar predicament in terms of talent when the Jayhawks travel to Mizzou Arena. Not only is KU unbeaten, but is also ranked third in both the AP and the USA Today polls. KU has talent on its roster that is just as good, if not better, than Texas had.
What is different is that the Jayhawks have a deeper bench than Texas. The five players that have started the majority of the Longhorn's games this year are playing over 30 minutes per game. But for Kansas, guard Mario Chalmers plays the most at 28.9 minutes per game. Just like MU, the Jayhawks rotate several players into the game to keep fresh legs on the court at all times.
Saturday's game is another part of a tough start to conference play for the Tigers, with the two games against ranked teams sandwiched around a road game against Iowa State that MU lost on Wednesday night.
"We were thrown right into the fire," Anderson said. "It's a great league, you're going to play good teams every night. But to start off with those teams, it makes it even more challenging for our basketball team."
The Tigers will not only be trying to knock off their rival on Saturday, but prevent a losing streak at the same time.
"I think we've just got to get mentally back and get back physically strong," forward DeMarre Carroll said. "We've just got to learn from it (the loss to Iowa State) and really go out there in the Kansas game and do the impossible — that's what everybody thinks is impossible."
It can be easy to get caught up in a rivalry game, something forward Leo Lyons will try to avoid on Saturday night.
"I think what hurts us a lot is thinking about all of the rivalry and how important it is and getting it over any other games," Lyons said. "I'm just going out there playing like it's any other game."
While Lyons tries to downplay it, there will likely be much more excitement from the fans at Mizzou Arena on Saturday night than at any other point this year. The KU game is usually the one Tigers fans circle on their schedules at the beginning of the season.
There were a season-high 13,085 in attendance for the Texas game, but against KU, the figure will probably be right around the capacity of 15,061.
"For Tiger fans, we need you," Anderson said in a radio interview after Wednesday's game. "We need you at a pitch level at Mizzou Arena and help to will this team on. I think our guys got the stuff made up to get it done. Our key is to protect the home court against a very good Kansas basketball team."

Lundahl LL1517. What is it good for?
Could somebody tell me What is the LL1517 good for? Is it possible to use in tube circuit? Something like the Raven preamp has in the input? http://www.lundahl.se/pdfs/datash/1517.pdf Tyimo |

The LL1517 is designed to be driven from a very low source impedance. The datasheet even mentions 'minus 18' as the optimum source. The frequency response is given when driven by a source resistance of 10 ohms, fed into 600R. Those are too low values for tubes. Ok, a white cathode follower may achieve a R out of 10 ohms and not distort to much when driving 600R, but that is about it in the 'tube world'. Erik

Hi Erik!
I would connect it between the CDP and the tubepre. I think a solid state CDP has low output imp, it isn't it? Tyimo |

CD-players do have low output impedances, but if it is as low as 10R I don't know. Best thing is to check your manual. It is also important to terminate this transformer with at least 600R. This can be a tough load, or introduce a LP cutoff in the output coupling cap (if present) is too low in value.
Chech the driving habilities of your CD-player! I don't know if the manual shows this information, however.

The manual doesn't shows this information.
I think I have to try it and I will terminate the transformer with 600R +10nF. Greets: Tyimo |

accepting indemnification from any insured depository institution (i)
for the civil money penalty assessed and paid in this matter, or
(ii) for any expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred by Respondent in connection with this matter.
This ORDER TO PAY shall be effective upon issuance.
Pursuant to delegated authority.

Understanding the UN Security Council: Coercion Or Consent?This impressive work sheds light on the recent history of the UN Security Council (UNSC), examining how the penchant for UN-backed humanitarian intervention in the 1990s has given way to an impotent UNSC, unable to play a meaningful role in the war in Iraq. The book is designed for readers who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of the UNSC and the attitudes of its members towards the use of force and sovereignty, as well as understanding its limitations in international politics. |

Columbia, SC (WLTX) --- In a group of more than 30 seniors, Obinna Ntiasagwe more than stood out in his final season with the Blazers.
Obinna earned an invitation to the North-South All-Star Game in Myrtle Beach. But athletic ability is just part of his story.
He is ranked in the top 10 percent of his class and he was a valuable voice in the lockerroom for head coach Raymond Jennings.
After high school, Obinna hopes to play at the next level. He has received offers from Newberry, Presbyterian and VMI. He plans on majoring in sports medicine with the goal of becoming a physical therapist or an orthapedic surgeon.

"Apple owes Lion users a fix patch"
Version: Apple Safari 6.0.2
There are none.
Agree with the above users. We got screwed. Not that theyll listen , but Apple needs to hear about this and a fix demanded. DONT USE WITH 10.7 !
"Don't put this version on a Mac with Lion - 10.7.5"
Version: Apple Safari 6.0.2
Works good on my Mac Pro with 10.8.2 Mountain Lion OS.
I installed this on my wife's iMac with 10.7.5 Lion, it installed fine, but a dialog box informed me that it wouldn't run on her machine. Again, the installer let me install it on here machine. After I installed it, I tried to run the older version of Safari, and no version of Safari would run on her machine. I then spent hours and tried everything from a complete system reinstall to various fixes I found over at the Apple site, all with no luck. Her machine is too old to run Mountain Lion, so that's not an option. So, I have her running Firefox and she really doesn't know the difference, but I am really upset that the Safari installer allowed the installation, and a no go. I also found the downloadable version of Safari 6.0.2 for Lion, and still a NO-GO!!!!
lowrider -
"Doesn't work with Lion"
Version: Apple Safari 6.0.2
Pros: Non that I can think of. The installed version 6.0.2 refuses to work on Lion
The software updater ran smoothly with no problems.
The software allowed me to install version 6.0.2 which DOESNT WORK with OS Lion.
So now my Safari Browser is 100% broken.
I used time machine to restore 6.0.1 but it also doesn't work.
I downloaded 6.0.1 but it also doesn't work.
I downloaded 6.0.0 but it also doesn't work.
I downloaded Google Chrome, nice minimilistic browser but I really resent being forced to give up Safari due to 1 simple mistaken upgrade.Summary
A real disaster for my Lion operating system.
I've been happy with Safari until now.
My 5 year old laptop is stuck on Lion and can't upgrade to Mountain Lion
Now I don't have Safari and I don't know how to get Safari back.
Be warned Lion Users! -
"Much Slower Since Updating"
Version: Apple Safari 5.1.7
None. (Does this make 10 characters?)
It's worse than it was.
Trying to open YouTube links brings Safari to its knees as it grinds to a halt. Pathetic.
"Superfast and elegant browser"
Version: Apple Safari 5.1.7
To me this is one of the best browser for mac out there. Speedy, lovely interface, nice mac integration, useful reader and reading list. This version is even snappier than previous one.
Have not found anything
"Great browser"
Version: Apple Safari 5.1.5
Very fast, very convenient
Nothing essential
I like all its functionality.
"Excellent version so far."
Version: Apple Safari 5.1.4
This version seems very fast and stable.
None so far. The updating process seemed a little slow for a browser, but who's at fault?
A very nice browser that behaves the way an old Mac user expects a browser to behave. It's fast and it's rock solid. I like the way the "Reader" button works, I like the way bookmarks are displayed and managed and I like the price.
"Use the prior version"
Version: Apple Safari 5.1.4
Pros are outweighed by a very bog con.
After updating Safari to 5.14 all of buy bookmarks and items on the bookmarks bar had disappeared. I am unable to import bookmarks from Chrome or Firefox as the bookmarks files (.plst and/or html) are grayed out. I exported b bookmarks from Chrome and that file was also grayed out. I went back to my last backed up copy and tried replacing the new Bookmarks.plist file with the one from backup. Safari 5.1.4 did not recognize the new file. Bottom line, I am left with a new version of Safari with none of my previous bookmarks available.
As a result my rating for this vex ion of Safari is one star. The absence of earlier b bookmarks makes it basically useless. I am one of those people that liked Safari. It had its quirks, but basically it was OK. The new version is not. -
"Good for the basics"
Version: Apple Safari 5.1.2
Fast, Reliable, Easy to Use, Clean interface, Apple, Safe, Pop-Up Blocker, Reader, Extensions, Smart Search Bar, Customizable
Slows, Memory Leaks, Buggy
Safari web browser is good for the basics and is easy to use. Since Safari 5 Apple has added support for extensions. Apple made the extensions completely right you do not have to restart Safari when it installs the extension. The pop-up blocker is really good I have tested it with many pop-up blocker testing sites and I have only had two or three pop up. There are memory leaks but what browser doesn't, although Apple is fully aware and has recently put an update out that fixed the memory leak I had found. The Google Bar (Search Bar) is exceptionally useful when you search it acts like a normal Search Bar, But when you click a site and navigate through it you'll have to usually click back multiple times. With Safari no you don't a little orange back arrow will appear in the bar, when you click the arrow it brings you right back to your results. The downloads menu is no longer a menu its more like a drop down box that gets the job done very well and is very easy to use. Safari's toolbar is very customizable you right-click it say customize and you get plenty of options like "Mail to Friend" which will mail the link to the current page your on. You can also add a "Report bugs to Apple" button if you run into any issues within your browsing session. If you're on a blog or news site like CNET, a little "Reader" button in the URL bar will show, if you click the button it will open a quick look view of the text with no ads and you can customize the font size to your liking. On the bookmarks bar there is a "Reading list" button that you can save articles to read later and it will sync with all your iDevices Safari's so you can remember the article to read later. I highly recommend this browser.
"unfun for everyone"
Version: Apple Safari 5.1.1
logo is cool as ever
never has done well with shockwave, and it never will.
same old, same old.
very unsnappy.

How to Pay for Cancer Treatment When You're Broke Cancer can devastate anyone regardless of their station in life, but being broke adds a new, troubling challenge for those diagnosed with the disease.
Big Pharma Looks Beyond Drugs to Smartphone Apps Pharmaceutical companies looking for fresh sources of profit are increasingly investing in a range of health care innovations that aren't drugs at all, from smartphone apps and educational websites to social media platforms and wireless devices, reports Ernst & Young.
Amylin Shares Jump as Roche Delays Diabetes Drug Pharmaceutical giant Roche said Friday that it would delay an FDA filing for its new diabetes drug for 12 to 18 months due to safety concerns. The beneficiary of Roche's misfortune is rival Amylin, which now jumps ahead in the race to get first approval of a once-weekly injectable type 2 diabetes drug.

On Route 7 in Conklin almost every house you pass is empty. Left deserted and devastated by flood water. But in a small church down the street the mood is anything but depressing.
"It's Thanksgiving to me. Everything looks perfect. I would have had no Thanksgiving," said Pat Crossman.
But more than 50 volunteers from the Conklin Presbyterian Church made sure that didn't happen.
"As soon as the idea came to light they just stepped right up and said we're doing this," said organizer Dave Jenkins.
The majority of the people there are victims of June's and November's flooding. Their stories are eerily similar.
"My furnace, my hot water tank, then the second flooding came and it was worse than the first," said Anna Donley.
Turkey, bread, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy and pie were served with heart-felt greetings and received with much gratitude.
"My families all gone now. I'm the only one that's left so it's kind of depressing being alone," said Denny Baird.
Dorothy Stoddard said "We have a good savior watching over us everyday."
The goal of the day: to make sure everyone is full. In their stomachs and in their hearts.
"If we keep that hope going we'll get them back into their homes and we'll get them back with warm hearts," said Jenkins.

What other symptoms might occur with tingling fingers?
Tingling fingers may also accompany numbness, pain, and a variety of other symptoms depending on the underlying cause and the affected nerve. Tingling due to a body-wide disease such as diabetes may include numbness in your fingers and toes. Tingling and numbness are often related symptoms of the same condition. Any associated symptoms can help your doctor make a diagnosis.
