    M1,

    My expectations were realistic for a lot of the questions. Quite a few I chose so that DB and SIL would hear the answer from the Dr, even the expected I don't knows. The folks here have done a great job of educating me, but DB and SIL are still near the start of the learning curve as far as the info out there. As far as lived experience, I'm sure they have more than they realize.

    Thanks for your input on what to expect from the VA. SIL is interested in the infusions for the hope that would provide. It seems she's seen things that showed it in a very favorable light. DB's first thoughts are it's not worth the risk of the possible brain bleed. Perhaps I'm naive, but I've been hopeful the additional documentation would help with SSDI and disability rating through the VA.
