I'm AD Air Force, almost 2 years in, but still in training. I was diagnosed with Undifferentiated Spondylitis / Reactive Arthritis and in January I was put on Humira. It's worked pretty well, although has not alleviated all of my pain, but maybe I need to give it more time. I've been told by numerous people that this makes me unfit because it weakens my immune system therefore making me non-deployable. I have passed my Russian course and halfway to becoming a ground linguist, so may not ever need to deploy. Do they take this into account? I'm currently on a permanent profile because my leg goes numb when I work out (although this happened after my package was sent up for evaluation). Ultimately, I'm asking for guidance, should I expect to be separated?
 
There is no really good answer to give you on this.

This advice is going to suck, and I usually try to refrain from giving it, but do your best to put it out of your mind. Right now your stuff is in a black hole. Just set yourself to finishing your development at hand and finish out ground linguist school without any stupidity, LOCs, LORs, ARIs etc.

Thank you for your reply. Definitely difficult to put it out of my mind! I have absolutely no disciplinary action against me, just waiting on this to finish up. I totally am driving myself crazy with anxiety about this MEB.
 
AC,

What ever came of your situation? I ask because I am in a similar medical boat and the rating percentages seem rather convoluted for anything spondyloarthropathic with the exception of psoriatic arthritis.
