Colitis question

igids1 · July 1st, 2008, 18:39

Had a colonoscopy that revealed colitis. Dr. said it could be caused by a virus, and did not prescribe any meds, but just said to give it a week or two and see how it is. The symptoms went away, and never took any meds. I have a PEPC coming up, and am wondering if this will be a problem for the ATC medical? Is there a number at the FAA that I can/should call? Should I bring any documentation from my Dr.? Thanks.

Just take copies of the medical records with you.
