Diabetes or Stroke?

In December 1991 I had a Brainstem CVA and was rated in 1993 and 1994 to be 60 percent RLE disabled and 50 percent RUE disabled by the Veterans Administration.
Nothing has changed except my right side is getting weaker, I still can't feel things on my right side, I can't distinguish temperatures or tell when I'm holding things in my hand. I get muscles spasms and feel I have to stretch a lot with my arm getting stuck in one deformed position and I have to pull it out. I don't sweat on my right side, like I have an imaginerary line going down my body, etc., and when I was pregnant in 1994, I only had labor pains on my left side and not my right side.
To make a long story short, I went to another VA examine by a young neurologist and in 10 minutes he said all my stroke symptoms were from my Type 2 Diabetes I got in 1997/8 and are from nerve damages from it and not the stroke. My whole future changed by this one doctor and I went from 60 percent RLE/50 percent RUE to 0 percent just like that and don't know what to do. All he did was made me stick out my tongue, hammer my knees and touch my nose with my finger to his finger. I need bars around my tub and toilet now because I have a hard time getting in and out. I fell twice. What can I do and is there a difference? I am a 16-year survivor of a stroke.
