  1. Thanks for the response. I have looked at the waiver guide before for the disease, and unfortunately it's not in my favor. There isn't a formal piece of paper that exists saying that I have/had this disease. What does exist is record of a few high inflammation markers in my blood. However, I've learned that that's pretty common even in healthy people. After just a couple blood tests, the doctor just slapped me with a certain autoimmune disease, even though I only had one mild symptom. After consulting with another doctor and doing some independent research to better understand my health and situation, I found several non-medication ways to fix the inflammation, and I've been symptom free for about a year and a half. So I guess my clarification question is, if I can get the doctor who gave the diagnosis, whether formally or informally, to write a letter saying that I don't have this disease (which is one of the things I'm trying to do), then that could fix pretty much everything? Thanks.
  2. I (F/22) am an aspiring fighter or B1 pilot in the ANG or Reserves. TBAS: Not yet taken AFOQT: Not yet taken Education: Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Engineering at Dartmouth College (graduating March 2023). GPA 3.30. Recruited Varsity Rower (NCAA DI) Flying: 130 hours, have my PPL, complex endorsement, working on my instrument rating. Career: Two internships at Johnson Space Center. Will likely be taking a career as an ISS flight controller/engineer post college. Medical: Will need to get Lasik. Had a bad doctor misdiagnosis me for an autoimmune disease a few years ago but that is being remedied. Will be getting a first class FAA medical if that means anything. Qualms: I am nervous that even having that diagnosis at one point will bite me in the butt forever. Any advice regarding the medical situation would be appreciated.
