I'm no expert in medicine, but I AM an expert in my body.

I SWEAR I had you kill filed....

"I SWEAR I had you kill filed...."

Maybe the fever caused the confusion....

And the flight school washouts can whine about airport noise.

So can some retired naval aviators I know personally.....

...AND the tax subsidies. Don't forget about the tax subsidies to GA!

Let him know in no uncertain terms that this 'diagnosis' will cause you
financial harm, and that a wrong diagnosis will cause HIM financial harm.

Nawh, Emily's in Texas now, so it's, "a wrong diagnosis will case him
*physical* harm"...

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. I was given antibiotics after a
suspicious bite. When I reported this to my AME as a possible Lymes he
responded with "DID YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR LYMES"? When I said no he
informed me that I was not to write the word Lymes anywhere.

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.
