Should I be able to get a special issuance for a third class medical certificate with severe hemophilia and a VP shunt? The hemophilia is well controlled and I am on a prophylaxis dose. I do not have any restriction of motion or joint damage from the hemophilia. The shunt has been stable for over 15 years. I'm just looking into a private pilots license and didn't want to drop money on lessons without a a decent assurance I could get the medical certificate or know whether I was I better off getting a sport pilot license. I also didn't want to get denied and then not even be able to get a sport pilot license. I'm assuming in my situation I would need to be a bit careful in my choice of an AME who was accustomed to special issuances.
Thanks
