I think your friend is correct, I guess they're medically aggressive once they know about your condition potentially but as I understand it's really down to the AME , mine is pretty relaxed, old man at his house practice, so will take all of this into account, I believe I have my course of action roughly planned out then.
I'm glad you gave me your opinion there , it holds true to allot of what my pilot friends have said as well , just wanted a ballpark opinion not coming from biased friends, either way I believe this thread has helped me put things into perspective ever so slightly for me, thanks.
