I am full time AGR in the Air National Guard. After 16 years time in service I'm about to toss in the towel. I've been fighting medical issues for at least three years now. I have several diagnosis that will likely be found unfitting. I was looking for some advice and suggestions. Specifically, I'm trying to drag my feet a bit on the way out to preserve income and pay for expenses. I would definitely be interested in CSP if that were an option. My command will likely be supportive but most people around me have little to no experience with this.
My recent diagnosis that may be found unfitting include hypersomnia, migraines, stress disorder, TBI, overactive bladder, and more than 5 herniated discs in my spine. I'm on disqualifying medications for several of these conditions.
I am planning to research my conditions to see what things I should be thinking about along the way. In particular, "stress disorder" is currently in my record as a placeholder for PTSD. I am going to be reevaluated for PTSD next week, if my scores are still similar then that will likely become my diagnosis.
Some of these diagnosis will be pretty detrimental to my flying career. I may never fly again. I'm debating on if I should weigh my desire to fly after I leave the military against my desire to get all this properly documented and treated.
