Waivers- headaches

I am looking for some information on waivers. Is it possible to obtain a waiver for past headaches? Im not sure if I was diagnosed with migraines, but about a year and 7 months ago (during the middle of working full time MSN studies full time and grandchild being born) I had headaches a couple times a week for about a month. Complaines to Doc she gave me meds to prevent Amitriptaline 10 mg), and I never had headache since. I never stopped taking meds, but now Im wondering if this will keep me out. Im 42 dont have much time left to join (in AF can join until 48 and retire up until 68). This is prob. my only issue. Healthcare recruiter eluded that this would be an issue and although he didnt suggest I lie, he said if its not a problem now, I may not want to mention it- that the only medical records that the service gets are the ones I provide to them. I would appreciate any advice or stories from individuals regarding waiver process.

I wouldn't try non-disclosure because you never know when it will come back and bite you where you are tender. I had a similar problem which meant that I had to get specialist reviews to make sure it wasn't a tumour or anything else nasty.

I would suggest talking to your GP and look at the possible causes and address them before doing your enlistment medical. I had an eye test which showed that my extended study hours with my nose close to the page caused my headaches- problem solved. In your case it could be stress related, eye strain or a number of other things.

If you solve the problem, the AF can't find one.
