What are the odds I can pull off a medical waiver for something like this granted I provide all the documentation from my neuro and max my AFOQT/other pertainable scores?

Thanks for the help thus far!
You won't get a waiver for this condition, it's either go or no go. If you have a clean neuro exam, mri, eeg , and deny any condition under Item 46, you should get your medical. Try to deal with your regional flight surgeon, certification is much faster, and your stuff won't get lost in Ok city.
