Hello Moss, have a look at the preceeding URL and the comments. One poster remarked that being open with the FAA can cost you tens of thousands of dollars along with many months of being suspended from flying.

Aviation medical authorities often overreact on reports of benign and well controlled medical conditions and delay medical renewals and issuances for the better part of a year. The process is totally opaque.

Until aviation medical authorities begin to act in a timely, transparent manner and provide well reasoned explanations, pilots will perforce keep their cards close to their vest.
