It all depends on the person and the reason for the seizures.

Some people have seizures when they have a fever, and that is the only time. They are probably not going to be working when they have a fever.

My daughter had seizures because she had low sodium when she was a baby. Unfortunately, they over-corrected that problem and gave her brain damage.

However, her seizures stopped. Then she had another one when she was 10. It’s been 5 years since she’s had a seizure. The neurologist thinks that puberty brought it on, and now she is out of puberty and her EEG is better.

Rember the the justice on the Supreme Court, I think it was John Roberts had a seizure. He’s only had a few in his lifetime.

Lots of people have had 1 or 2 seizures. It’s the people with uncontrolled seizures that need to take things carefully.

Your right that many things can cause a seizure and also there are many types of seizures and some only effect consciousness and not muscles...I just believe those that are not under control and have seizures should not be driving a car or such....

When I worked in the hospital I remember one gal that had a big sign on her bed, Do not jar bed........it would send her into seizure activity...

I am so sorry to hear of your daughters problem..glad she is doing better...
