If you have a medical and you are on thyroid after having submitted normal bloodwork is that considered to be a special issuance?
 
Jeannie, for years until Mr. Oberstar they simply wanted to know that you were euthyroid (normal T4 and TSH) and that was that. But since we are now administered by a "supervisory congress" these are telephonic special issuance, and you have to submit the TSH and a letter from the treating doc every year, testifying that your are stable and euthyroid on replacment, with a normal TSH.

The AME has to gather the data, and call, or we get dinged. You get an SI letter and instructions to send in the stuff each year (9 times of 10 it's an AME assisted SI, in which the AME can send in the normal values and type out the second year of your third class for you).
