Some times its quicker to just offer the bureaucrats what
they want,
even if your physician thinks here is no sound medical
basis for it. I'm
still waiting for my Second / third class after they
mistook Prilosec
for Prozac. My Doc called their Doc and they had a nice
conversation a
month ago, they got a letter from him saying I have never
used Prozac,
but I still wait.

When I was a manager working with the medical staff at the
nation's
first University Hospital, we had a saying:

"Those who can't - teach. Those who can't
teach - work for the government."

You should inform the FAA that you do not need a medical to fly anymore, just your pilot's license if you are flying an LSA aircraft and have not failed a medical.  Of course you need a current drivers license.
