RE: Jetaholics Anonymous
I didn't know where to post this but, I figured there might be more out there with the same illness. So I wanted to share my story.
About 6 years ago I was diagnosed with rare glow fuel allergy. My doctor told me that if I wanted to continue flying I would have to get rid of all my glow stuff and get giant scale gasoline planes. I did and was flying giant warbirds. Everything was going great until I started feeling ill again. Nothing had changed except that I flew my first jet and got my waiver. I went back to the doctor and he said I now had become allergic to gasoline prop planes. So now I can only fly jets. I have been forced to sell my pride and joy my corsair..... so I can get more jets and get healthy again. He said I should be fine as a turbine allergy or sickness has never been diagnosed. He said I could live a full complete life with just flying jets.
I have to admit I have never been happier!
Hopefully my story will help others get help they need and live a happier life.
