Hi , unfortunately , last year I joined the "stroke club". After much testing and head scratching as to the cause ( I am 38 , fit , don't drink excessively , or smoke etc) the haematologist has diagnosed me with Essential Thrombocytheamia (ET). ET makes your blood more likely to clot. ET although looking fairly bad on a google search is not a big deal medically (according to two haematologists) and can be managed with a number of medications to keep the platelet count down and stop clotting. The stroke happened July 2017, and I am now going through the process of attempting to get my Class 1 back. Realise this is a long shot but the company AME thinks its worth a go.
Anyone had any recent relevant experience with attempting to regain Class 1 medical under EASA regs as I understand under the old CAA rules it was a different (easier) matter.
Thanks
