Life-long medciation
 

Just been told today I need medication for the rest of my life :eek:
Nothing too serious but, will this affect(sp) my visa application?

Re: Life-long medciation
 

It will depend on the costs involved, prognosis etc.

You probably need some advice from an agent familiar with this area (most aren't) - try Peter Bollard in Sydney:

Controlled diabetes or asthma do not normally preclude a visa grant, for example. Other conditions do.

It's for Thyroxine, used for reduced Thyroide function.

Can I ask if you are male or female? Thyroid function can restore itself to normal in women in some cases.

Re: Life-long medciation
 

Should not be a problem, lots of people are on thyroxine and you wont be a burden on the Australian Healthcare!

Hope that helps put your mind at ease.

Definately a bloke!!
I'm just borderline hypo, but the meds do help.
Hopefully I'll be OK with the visa, It's just one more thing to be concerned about :rolleyes:

My hubby was on thyroxine for about 15 years, but a couple of years ago his blood test where ok and has not been on them since, Denise

Re: Life-long medciation
 

did this have any bearing on his/your visa application?

Re: Life-long medciation
 

NO none at all. And i get vertigo, so i was on repeat prescriptions, and took regular medication, this did not make any difference. Denise

I also take regular medication (different condition). Declared it on the medical form. No problem with getting the visa.
