Good news is that my blood test came back normal, no abnormalities in my blood, no traces of anemia or iron deficiency. The report is ready to be picked up tomorrow and I will be sending that to the AME as soon as possible. On track so far.

So as you can see im wayyyyyy out the limits, but i appealed to the CAA for a secondary review. After 6 months i got a letter from the CAA stating that im fit to fly because i have a strong prism fusion range so i dont have double vision (wich is the risk), the fresh class 1 medical was in the same letter btw.
So if you dont have double vision my advice is that you should elaborate your case well and than appeal to the CAA. They are flexible with phorias if you dont have double vision.
Hey Abbas,
This was a reply I was hoping for, someone who was in a near enough exact position as me, alongside making an appeal/review and everything working out fine in the end. 6 months is a long time to wait for the reply, but the wait was definitely worth the good news. I'm hoping to send the required reports which were asked by my AME, and hopefully, we get the secondary review process started.
Thanks.
