I have a thyroid condition, and while it is extremely mild, I get the impression from my recruiter that that could marr my otherwise spotless paperwork. It could keep me from making it in.
My recruiter gave me a speech along the lines of "what you dont tell them, cant hurt you."
For a while I was about to do so. I mean, I want in so BAD, its not even funny. Then I realized that I would not be able to live with myself if I lied my way into the armed forces. It just reeked to me, went against my grain...
So I'm going to tell the MEPs doctors about my thyroid and hope for the best. I'll probably either be so depressed I wont be able to even talk, or I'll be on cloud nine.
See you all in 2 days. Wish me luck.
And yes, it is best to tell them the truth.
I didn't tell them about my asthma that I had, which would have kept me from joining, but I grew out of it soon after and I've now been in for 6 1/2 yrs now. It is always better to tell the truth though, so you are doing the right thing.
I get mild mood swings when it goes out of whack.

When the babel fish was in place, it was apparent Azakias said:
Yeah. It secretes a chemichal that regulates hormones.I get mild mood swings when it goes out of whack.
OK MOTHERFERS I AM GONNA KILL ALL OF YOU NOW...I am sorry I raised my voice...DIIIEIEIEEEE!!! 
The only effect I have is the mood swings, and I can control them through self discipline, and a slight swelling in my neck area if I am off the meds for a period of time.
It will all work out.
*hugs you tight*

Azakias had this to say about Tron:
No. Like I said, I have a very mild case.The only effect I have is the mood swings, and I can control them through self discipline, and a slight swelling in my neck area if I am off the meds for a period of time.
Good luck.
