Nah, the dream takes new shape, molded by new constraints.
I'll appeal in case the finding was based on a misapprehension or misconstrual of the facts, or a need for more detail, but I've stated the facts and the PC docs say they can't accommodate me because I suffer from migraines. I've already stated that Imitrex is very effective at preventing my migraines from going past the prodrome, so I'm going to try to make more clear to them that 95% of the time I know when I'm getting a migraine, the other 5% is when I wake up with one.

Dude that stinks. You might want to tell them that you have travelled extensively in the area without problems and again remind them that the migraines are well controlled with medicine.
Perhaps a letter from your doctor stating that your migraines will not keep you from performing your duties would help your cause.
I hope it works out for you...

Thanks Dr. Shak!
Yeah, I actually just figured out what happened by reading my copy of the forms I sent them, which gives me more confidence that they'll rescind their decision.
In filling out the big-arse form for the physical there was an extra prompt for migraines, and I should have gotten the doctor to add some more relevant details about the headache distribution and patterns, because it sounded like it interferes with my working life more than it does. Mainly just a lack of details and imprecision in description.
