Sometimes doctors seem to prescribe medications just to see how they might affect you. Be really careful about that. A lot of the medical discussion around here seems to involve past prescriptions for inhalers and that sort of thing. Once it’s prescribed DODMERB seems to accept that as a condition. If your doctor gives or wants to give you a prescription, you might ask if he/she thinks it’s really needed or not. If the condition clears up without medication that may well make a waiver easier or unnecessary. Many medical DQ’s seem to result from a paper trail that is hard to explain in a way that is favorable to the candidate.
