The Board has granted service connection for left and right arm fatigue and aching, as well as muscle fatigue (including both arms) and gastrointestinal disorder, all due to an undiagnosed illness. Service connection was denied for hyperhidrosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in equipoise regarding the etiology of the Veteran's symptoms, with opinions supporting that they are related to an undiagnosed illness during service.
