My wife went to a neurologist, per her flight doc, for headaches she would get on occasion. She was diagnosed with migraines which now has made her DNIF. She did not have a CAT scan. Is this stilla valid diagnosis without one? Is there anyway to go back on that diagnosis and say "nevermind"? Can a 2nd opinion overturn it?
I have read that she can start to fly a year after her last migraine. Is this true? Who's to say we don't just say her last migraine was in March of 2003? She will be starting on various hormone type "therapy" I guess.. She has said the headaches can sometimes be bad, but not to the point she would want to give up her job. If she does have to stay DNIF for one year is it simply a matter of saying that the headaches are gone, or is there some sort of test to see if they are really gone?
Also, what can a worse case scenario be? She cannot be medically discharged from the AF can she??
