Some good advice so far!
The Class 1 Medical clearance is vital though it's kind of a catch 22 as you won't actually need a Class 1 until you move beyond basic training BUT it's essential to know that you're going to pass it before spending anything on professional level training. I would be totally honest with the med team doing the tests and ask them to test specifically for your condition... it would be heartbreaking (s'cuse the pun), to pass a Class 1 now and find out 3 years or so later that the condition you have is degenerative and that you've spent all that dosh for nowt.
Anyone know anything about Aptitude tests?
Good luck mate... in the meantime, keep rockin' on the prarie!
