Has anyone with a service disability that required steroid treatment gone back to the VA to increase their rating due to side effects?

I developed reactive airway disease after a supply clerk dropped and shattered a concentrated bottle of ammonia in the basement of an old German barracks building. The Docs at FT Sam tried to keep me athletic. Didn't work.

I ran the 26.2 mile Lakefront Marathon in Milwaukee. My 7th and final full Marathon. That evening I had odd feelings in my chest. The next morning I got Cold type symptoms, then the Flu, then later was diagnosed with Walking Pneumonia. I was like a fish out of water. They tried every color of Inhaler available. Steroids. Advair (Inhaling CHUNKS of drugs). I cannot tolerate humidity and still be able to function. Certain household chemicals send me crawling out of the room. Fucking sucks ASS. To this day, I still cannot be in a large city for more than 3 days without gasping for air. I can FEEL the chemicals from traffic in my damned lungs. Wanna kill me? Put me in a sauna for 5 minutes.

MSG Pat Colby - whole new meaning to "Sucking Swamp Gas". I feel ya.

I'm and older PDRL guy that is now retired a second time for arthritis (SSDI). Because I took steroids for a service connected respiratory problem since 88 (on long and high does tappers) I have Docs thinking I exhibit all the bad symptoms.
