Deferred due to the migraine
#21
Half the world has common migraines. If they are infrequent and not severe, or controlled by simple medications without side effects they are not a problem.
Classic migraines can also be approved by the AME if they are infrequent and uncomplicated. Migraines affecting vision or balance get far more difficult and typically are very difficult to get FAA approval.

Depending on who builds it and how, I would suspect some MFD screens would be likely inducers as well.

Get some professional advice; AMAS in CO or the like.
Now something perhaps worth no more than what you’re paying: I would NOT include anything they don’t specifically ask for. If they want it they’ll ask and you can then provide it.

Cant fly anymore?:Migraine with Aura :(
Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated.
I started getting migraines with aura, the aura being visual disturbances that look like staticky spider legs through my field of view. I only knew what they were because I used to get them when I was a kid but haven't had them in years. I Just finished my instrument rating, I'm about a 1/3 of the way through my commercial rating and I'm very nervous about talking the AME. I'm almost positive this is going to be a dream killer. Does anyone get these and fly commercially? Has anyone found medications that prevent them from happening? Thanks for the help.

Do not confuse classic migraine which in fact only requires CACI level approval:

With ocular migraine for which a special issuance is much more difficult or sometimes impossible. They are NOT the same thing:
