The person to ask would be your recruiter, a flight doc, or NAMI...not a bunch of dumbasses like me on the web...just a thought.
I had migranes when i was kid (MRI confirmed migranes), didnt take the pills either, and they went away before high school...i told the flight doc and he said as long as i have not had a migrane, not a headache, but a migrane since then, no furthur explanation is needed. But he said if I had them in my recent history then thats a problem.
Well the situation is a little weird. I went in with headaches that were annoying me but I was functioning no problem. They weren't incapacitating like migraines are supposed to be and didn't have any of the symptoms that normally go with them, but they gave me meds to take everyday, so I took them. Well the meds had such horrible side effects that I ended up having to drop that semester of classes. Needless to say I stop taking the meds and the headaches have gone away as well. I even ended up seeing a neurosurgeon who said my MRI didn't have any abnormalities (his works "Looks perfect"), two EEGs that were also fine, as well as a CAT scan that showed nothing. So this is sadly all in my medial records. And I can't even get a waiver for OSC until 3 years after the last time that any of this shows up on my record. Then after that I'd have to get another waiver to be a pilot so I'm in for a bit of a wait still, but I'm willing to wait. I'm just really annoyed at it.
My top interest is in being a pilot, and I will persure it as far as I am able, and it would really be nice to know if anyone else has ever recieved a waiver for this.
What meds were you given?
How long did you take them?
Does your OSO know of the results...CAT, MRI, EEGs?
Were you diagnosed with migraines?
