Just got bad news this week. Six months after sending in my packet, the FAA rejected my request for a special issuance because I take insulin and Rezulin concurrently. They didn't say why this is objectionable.
Now I've just stopped the insulin and I'm trying to make up the difference in more exercise and even better diet. But it'll probably be another six months before I can submit another packet. <sigh> <BIG SIGH> Sure wish I'd done things better years ago. "E. T.
