[UPDATE]: Thank you to everyone who has helped and given advice. I'm seeing a lot of responses to my original post rather than my update further down in the thread. While it's appreciated, I now have a VERY clear understanding of every aspect and outcome of the "tough certification" pathway. I spent no less than 2 months researching, speaking to multiple AMEs (including Dr. Lou), and corresponding with advocacy groups. I'm leaving the thread up for the sake of others who could use the advice!
I am in for a tough time getting my 3rd Class medical, and I could use any advice or encouragement.

Perhaps see my FAA medical information page which discusses much of this, including alternatives for flying without the medical and how to do an AME consult without messing up alternatives +
