Sorry !! BA question....... (Not eyesight though !)
Firstly, I apologise because this thread is similar to another ! But I was wondering if you can pass BA's medical requirements if you have a history of Hayfever !?! I know they are slightly more stringent than CAA, but I don't know to what extent. Also, for the initial mini-medical - do you have to attend the doc's, or is this simply a questionnaire for your doctor !? Oh.... and finally..... can your AME fill in this questionnaire ? Phew..!! Sorry for all the questions, and hope they haven't been asked a million times before....

hayfever should be ok, it's some of the medication that can be a problem with both the CAA annd BA. many antihistimines have drowsiness as a side effect and these are not allowed (even if you are not affected by the side effects!). If you are on a 'drowsy' antihistimine then try changing to something non drowsy - clarityn (loratadine) is the best as you can get it over the counter in chemists. fexafenadine (i think) is another but you'll have to see your doc to get this.
