I've been running a 102 degree fever for the past two weeks and have
been so tired I can barely get to work. Finally made a doctor's
appointment (with a new doctor) today, but wasn't planning on
getting in
the same day and had taken Tylenol for the fever...so no fever when I
showed up.
Long story short, he ordered some blood work, but told me he thinks
that
I am depressed, since I have fatigue with no fever. He said that if
the
blood work comes back normal, he's writing it up as depression.
Obviously he's an idiot, since 1) fatigue has so many other causes and
2) I don't have depression, never have. This is just a bogus
diagnosis.
My concern is, if he writes this up in my medical records, do I have to
report it to the FAA? I'm really terrified of this.
Have you had a Lymes test? I don't what part of the country you are in
but you should. Just to rule it out.
Lymes is a disqualifying condition.
Where is THAT written?
My AME said Lymes is a classified as a neurological disease. I guess
disqualifying was the wrong word, but there are MANY hoops you have to
go through to prove there is no neurological damage.
