    INTRODUCTION
    
    The Veteran served on active duty from June 1966 to May 1968.  
    

    In sum, the Board concludes that the evidence of record regarding whether the Veteran continuously suffered from myasthenia gravis since his separation from service is at least in equipoise. Accordingly, the Board will resolve the benefit of the doubt in favor of the Veteran in this case as the law requires and grant service connection for myasthenia gravis. 38 U.S.C.A. §§ 1110, 1131, 5107 (West 2002 & Supp. 2011); 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.102, 3.303, 3.304 (2011).

    ORDER
    
    Entitlement to service connection for myasthenia gravis is granted.

    I injured my back in 1966 and it still hurts today even after A Laminectomy of L-4/5, and L4/5 & S1.

    Now the Cortozone shots don’t work, the Pain Dr. is going to do some new Medicine because now it’s Arthritis. Maybe it’s the same for you. I’ll post what it is and if it works.

    My VA doctor took an MRI of my Thymus and said “the spots on my Thymus were too small to be MG”.

    Never give up! My Nero said MG is treatable. AO could be the cause, check with a VSO. I use the American Leigon but not all VSO are the same.

    Vietnam AO??? Fuels on a flightline (Nam)will cause Deseases also.
