The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of chronic nerve pain, muscle degenerative condition, or eating disorder. The claims for these conditions are therefore denied.,The Board has also determined that the Veteran's Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with joint hypermobility syndrome, bilateral knee disability, all-joint degenerative condition, and fibromyalgia may be related to her service-connected POTS.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a current diagnosis of chronic nerve pain, muscle degenerative condition, or eating disorder. The Veteran's symptoms are more likely due to other diagnosed conditions.,The Board has determined that the Veteran's Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with joint hypermobility syndrome may be related to her service-connected POTS and is therefore secondary to it.
