I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Oct 2007. The military had me med-down for 6 months while I started my medication and got back on track. Since that time, I've gotten a 3rd class medical from the FAA and been checked 3 times through the military including my annual flight physical (which I hear the short form is still most inclusive than a 1st Class). So far so good - but I have of course worried about a 1st Class medicial too. Thanks for the good information.
