Rick,

About 25 years ago I had a primary helicopter flight student that shared your condition. When he was under stress (almost every moment in the cock pit) he would get all wiggy. He had more money then brains I think!
I encouraged him to get to a FAA Flight Doc before he ended up hocking his house to pursue his desire to fly.

Ultimately the FAA denied his medical, not for the condition, but for the meds he had taken to control it.

As stated that was a loooooooooong time ago and things may have changed.

As an additional note. If you still have a burning desire to get into helicopters. You can always be a ENG camera operator or on air talent!
Most of them are very good and professional, then again, with some your condition would be a welcome disorder on board!
