Ive been on one since April 1. I’m in awe with how much better I feel sleeping with it. I do t snore anymore and wake up rested each morning. I have a Philips Dreamstation. I haven’t had to travel with it yet so not sure how well that will work out. I had tried like 3 masks before I found...

Leeway should also be given while in adulthood. Seeing a doctor describing symptoms using terms like nervous, or anxious should not automatically indicate a mental health disorder. Some people have gone to their doctor and mentioned such terms, the doc nonchalantly raises their shoulders in an...

Sorry to add zero value to your situation, nor do I know the circumstances around your 2019 diagnosis, however I feel the need to vent. For all the MD's on the board. It seems as of late that "anxiety", which is a normal human reaction, is more widely being coded as a mental health diagnosis...

Does the 30 year old outpatient operation come with a life long diagnosis? I'm struggling why the FAA would even be aware of a hospital visit from 30 years ago.

Not an expert on this but found this....see 4.3.2 and 4.3.2.1 Perhaps it help and/or applies? https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_68-1A.pdf

If you do go see a doctor, be really careful what you say. Explain your motion sickness symptoms, but do not use words like nervous, anxious, scared etc. The last thing you want is an anxiety diagnosis, or some other obscure psych diagnosis to have to deal with.

I hope whatever changes they propose will come with less restrictions an not more.

Not a doctor however I have a friend who has Marfan Syndrome and it nearly killed him. He didn't know at the time, he was unusually tall growing up. His family was tall so they thought it was all simple genetics. However, he was lifting weights one day in college and started coughing up...

If it were my doctor, simply hearing the word anxious or nervous, you're slapped with an anxiety issue.

First off....not a doctor....Im what context are you referring to the word “mentioning”. Was it described to a physician? Psychologist? Psychiatrist? It’s normal human behavior to experience anxiety to some degree. If it was in irrational or excessive amounts about something not rooted in...

Not a doctor, but am in a similar situation. Pill happy PCP.....it’s really going to depend on what the doc diagnosed you with. If it’s not in your Echart it most likely exists somewhere, if it were an insurance billed visit there must be a diagnosis for the script. When I went into my...

How can it be a waste if the therapist recommended what the actual end result could/should have been? Perhaps you weren’t ready at the time to admit the truth. Is that the EAP programs fault?

Welcome to the club. I’m still trying to get my ducks in a row, I have yet to fill out a MedExpress. In my case about 20 yrs ago I was nervous about flying after some bad experiences while learning how to fly, asked me doc for some thing to sleep on commercial flights, and was prescribed...

Anxiety, agoraphobia with panic attacks, and a script for situational anxiety (Celexa) that was prescribed, and later rescinded because I told the doc that I didn’t want to follow his advice to “give it a try” after reading what it was for and what side effects it had. He agreed, it would be...

Great question. Based on what I’m reading from the posts on this forum, and the medical “diagnosis” in my record, I assumed I’d need to go that route to have the best chance of having a class 3 issued without a denial.

I’ve been digging through my medical records in prep to meet with a HIMS AME in my state. I’m in a bit of shock and extremely frustrated to learn that there are a few conditions/issues that are in both my actual doctors record, and insurance list of conditions/issues that have never been...

Whatever you do, DO NOT use your primary care physician. I’m stuck in a rut where I have a “diagnosis” of panic attacks and agoraphobia, and a fear of flying, based on a 5 minute conversation where I mentioned I get motion sickness when flying, and was asking if something can be prescribed to...

I'm one of them and from what I've read I have quite the up hill battle.

I'll give it a look.

wow, very detailed answer. I will not lie....so option 5 is out the window. I am considering option 2 after I consult with my primary MD and after a consultation appointment I just scheduled with a HIMS AME for March 12th to get some feedback. My goal with all of this was to fly dual to see...
