Its no fun having seizures, but certain jobs should be not open to those that do....today if it is known you have seizures, the state takes away your driver’s license...as well they should...don’t want a surgeon operating on me or my loved one’s if he/she is an epileptic....

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.

They only take your drivers liscence for 6 months or until yu are fit to drive again and cleared by your doctor.
They don’t take them away for good. People with Epilepsy sometimes have seizures for a short time then don’t ever have another seizure in thier life.
