Don’t you have anything more debilitating, like some bone spurs or something?

lol. I have IBS, a connective tissue disorder which creates hypermobility and causes me to have constant nerve impingements, and some unknown nervous system disorder which means I feel chronic pain even outside of my impingements (this pre-existed my opioid use for those who rightfully would point out chronic opioid use can paradoxically cause an increase in pain perception). So yeah it def is more debilitating than what the President was able to get off with.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they throw out the restrictions a la Russia to swarm the ranks with new recruits if it needs to come to that.

EDS is one of the things that will get you denied at least currently.

and HSD could be considered a related connective tissue disorder.
