Inital class 1 and history of migraines

I recently had my initial class 1 in the UK, having had migraine type headaches as a teenager, 1 every 1-2 years from the age of 13-18 they stopped. I didn't visit a doctor until got a mild one in 2013, experiencing non of the typical symptoms I experienced as a teen and I could carry on planned activities. The dr diagnosed me with a 'remote and isolated classical migraine'.

I have not been back since, nor did I take the prescribed medication, however the neurologist has said I now need an MRI scan and blood tests. I have asked my AV dr what the likelihood of being issued it without an OML is and he said that is the likely scenario should the tests come back normal and 'recurrent migraine' is diagnosed.

However my neurologists official diagnosis is 'remote migraine (currently symptom free)'. According to the flow chart I should be granted it unrestricted as my last episode (6 years ago) was not debilitating and I have identified a trigger of dehydration when I was in school. Annoyingly the consultant did not mention the trigger in his report. I don't know what to do but it's all looking very unlikely as you cant do the ATPL with an OML. Does anyone know if the CAA migraine flow chart time since last attack is based on time going forward or does it include time already elapsed since the last attack?

If anyone has any experience of this then advice/wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
