Just a quick update: After a few hours on hold my AME got through to Oklahoma City and advised them of the retest results, the probable reason for the previous 1+ result, and his opinion that any further testing would be unnecessary. Finally got a letter today from the FAA to disregard the...

Went back today and tested negative. AME called the FAA in Oklahoma and of course no one was available, but he told them he did not see a reason to move forward on any other testing requirements. Now I just wait to see what they decide. Related to this, and anyone else that can use the...

I spoke with him today. He mentioned the result during the exam only to give heads up for my PCP to double check during my next physical for my health insurance this fall, not that he believed it was an issue, or would be an issue with the FAA. He checked my record and the test was submitted as...

Will do. I bought some 10test strips off of Amazon that came in today. Results for protein on 2 different strips was definitively negative (not even trace) and all other parameters looked to be in check. I know it isn't conclusive by any stretch, but made me feel better about the situation...

What is required with the detailed "workup"? Is this something he is able to do or would I need to look for my PCP or specialist for that? And again, no history or symptoms so I would be starting from scratch.

Am I correct that going by the information provided by wrbix that the result had to have been “trace or 1+”, otherwise he would have deferred the issuance that day? I did go back to the same practice that is now being run by Dr. Sherman. I’m starting to feel like a pawn being used for other...

None. No history of any issues, nothing even mentioned, discussed, or noted on my application or during the exam. Only the urine test during the appointment.

This is what has me confused, he issued my certificate (3rd class) and never mentioned anything further about deferral, just to mention it to my PCP to see if it was transient due to my recent exercise and associated dehydration (had to lose some pounds somehow...). I plan on waiting to see...

After he saw the results he mention that my urine was positive for protein, only a trace amount, but to mention it to my PCP just as a heads up as he could not provide any diagnosis as to why. He emailed me back and is going to send me the result submitted when he gets back to his office this...

I sent him an email to see if he would be able to provide the actual test strip result, but I do not know if he will be able to provide that information or if I have to request my records through OK City. I only have 60 days though, so time is not on my side. I want to make sure I am not...

I got caught up in a mess this spring when my AME had legal issues and it required a new medical in 60 days. I was considerably overweight (not outside of the 40bmi, but closer than I cared for) and I wanted to do something about it before my appointment. I started a pretty strenuous diet and...
