When I was 12 my mom was concerned that during lacrosse practice I would get winded quickly, so she took me to the doctors to look into what potentially could be going on. He listened to what my mom had to say and then had me do a spirometry test. He concluded that i had minor sports induced asthma and prescribed me an inhaler. I am aware of the article that states you may be eligible if you meet all of these requirements; no use of controller or rescue medications, no exacerbations requiring acute medical treatment, no use of oral steroids and a current spirometry test. I have yet to do a spirometry test however, my doctor is putting into my medial records that I may have been misdiagnosed because I have not used my inhaler for the past five years and also because he questions the doctor who diagnosed me. Will I still need a waiver for all of this, or after the spirometry test and the misdiagnosis in my med files am I good to go?
