So I'm enlisted and such and have a ship date but I've been experiencing some stuffy nose and coughing and stuff and went to my doctor. This happens every year but usually I just take Benadryl or something similar and it helps.
However, this time, my new doctor has now diagnosed me with Nonallergic rhinitis and I'll mention it to my recruiter.
I don't need a waiver for this right? It says online that if it's not controlled by oral medications, its disqualifying. She wants to put me on singular but thats a Leukotriene inhibitor and that I know is disqualifying after the 13th birthday. If she does prescribe me this, I'd need a waiver but it's not for asthma. Would they still have me take all those breathing tests or should I ask her if she can prescribe me something different?
Basically, what do I do going forward from here?

I'd request a different treatment, if possible.
See DoD 6130.03 for disqualifying conditions/treatments.

I’m currently serving and I take prescription Singular (have been for over 9yrs) and it has not disqualified me from service, nor has it triggered a medical board.

I’ve been on seasonal allergy meds my entire career. Taking prescription medication is not a disqualifier because it shows it doesn’t interfere with performing your job. Be honest when you are at the MEPS. Singular is a medication you can take during training without it interfering with your job. I wouldn’t stress about it, if it was me. I honestly believe you’re going to be okay.PVT (Join to see)
