Default Have med condition need help.

Most likely the same with everyone here i have always been fascinated with flying planes. In-fact i have racked up 450 Flight Hours on FSX.

Sad truth of reality is me being born with a muscle Dieasese. Its my own mutation that stems off of Thomson Dieasese. Basically my only issue is standing up right off the back. Which takes me around a minute or two to accomplish. Other then that i have no problem using my feet to drive a car long distance. As im sitting and the pressure put on my legs is lessen giving me the ability to due this.

I have my Meeting with the Medical Eximiner in a couple months. Recently have stopped drinking, smoking cigs, and marijuana because im really into it. Allthought i had fun and am in college i know that the combination of those will not help me what so ever in my attempts to be a pilot.

Anyway back to the question.

I have had a Muscle Bioposy.
MRI on my head
EKG
Other test were they stick something into my muscle and so forth.

I def wanna get these?

Not needed but would it be a good idea to have a letter from my neurologist stating his personal opinion of the matter. The only reason i want to pick him is because he diagnosed me. I know im going to get Differed to OK CITY.

But other then that my hearing is great and my eyes are twenty twenty.

Im hoping that at the least i would be able to become a first officer. For those of you who have been threw the process. On the FAA site it says that you can still get a job with disability. What do you think my chance is off being able to become a pilot.

Im really doing my hardest working out everyday and eating healty. Do you think i would be able to land a job working as a regional or even latter International?

If they wont let me fly then i will do what ever i can to stay around the airline industry. CHEERS.
Sincerely, Kevin Goetschkes Flinn
