I get a sinus infection almost every spring and fall during allergy season and I have a bad back that goes out 2-3 times a year. I really don't care if they want to see my medical history about these issues (they go back over 25 years). My problem is, if I can't self verify on these issues then any cold, stomach issues, or any other sick that I would not need to verify for will now need verification. Thanks DALPA.
