Thrombophlebitis, reason to be grounded?

Hi everyone,

Earlier this year, I had Thrombosis/DVT. After the treatment, the specialist declared me healthy again and according to him, flying should not be a problem.

To make a long story short: after my medical exam and other medical investigations, the medical commision refused (contrary to the specialists opinion) to issue me a JAA class 1 medical on grounds of : 'Repetitive Thrombophlebitis'.

Has anyone ever had to deal with this ordeal and if so, were you able to go back flying again? Anyone advice on what to do so I can go back flying again?

Thanks in advance,
