Some advice from a retired guy. Your medical is your ticket, period. You lose that at any point in your career, everything becomes a mess! Every yearly exam you get becomes a bit more stressful as you get older. How you fill out that form, what you tell the AME and your recent medical history is important to the FAA. They don't care about your well being, they just want to avoid being sued! Be very careful about what you reveal and how you say it. I never lied on those things, but I never told the whole "truth" either. Don't get a DUI and keep your medical information between you and your GP. The end game is worth the work!
