1. Migraines controlled on approved FAA medicine
2. lower back pain no meds.
3. Rhumatoid Arthritis approved FAA meds
4. CPAP machine.
5. Reflux with approved FAA meds.
We shall see! I felt like I answered everything honestly.
1,3 and 4 jump at me.
You'll need proof of "control" over time. i.e. Do you have the Dr's report post CPAP, indicating the issue was resolved? I opted for the surgery and don't have to lug the CPAP around.
Lower back pain - have Kidney stones been ruled out?
Migraines -

Good Luck!
