Medical Issue Uncertainty

Hello,

I'm hoping that someone here can help me or maybe has a bit of experience in this area.

I've wanted to join the Royal Navy for a while. I recently went to apply but it seems I'm ineligible because I'm on medication for ADHD. I've then looked into the RFA but it seems a bit vague when it comes to ADHD. The ENG1 form doesn't really help much either.

I completely understand that it's a logistical issue and that one could run out of medication while at sea. Personally though, I've only just recently started on them and they're not medication that I am dependent on. It's simply something that has been offered to me as a potential "solution". I don't even take them everyday.

So my main question really is that is this a completely done thing now and I'll just have to suck it up and move on or is there any way that will allow me to explain my case?

I know that no one here can give a concrete answer. I would just really appreciate some guidance on this. Thanks
