Anyone military? ... EFMP question!
I am curious if anyone had their DS through the military or is in the military health care system with the DS and whether you are enrolled in EFMP and whether it's something I should be doing? I know overseas assignments are always a possibility and some may not always have access to care for someone with DS. But I know an EFMP assesment is done prior to those, however, is it worth it to do EFMP while stateside?
Thanks!
Thanks!
One DSr is in EFMP because she had some complications after DS at Madigan. She and her hubby are on his last assignment and she was having a bit of trouble with branch trying to get assigned near a DS surgeon. They either stayed put or went back to WA. Her other option was here in DC at Belvoir and Myer. I don't know that it's a requirement to be on EFMP but if you have trouble or complications it might not be a bad idea.

Lots to think about but maybe you can just wait and see how your surgery turns out. Not that many of us have complications, it may seem that way sometimes, but we really don't.
