Oh I struggled with losing independence and still do. But the fact of the matter is, the person living with you probably cares enough to help. I had to stop feeling guilty about needing help. I was also suggested that I find a pre-med/nursing student as a roomate that is aware of seizure protocol and doesn't mind the chance that you may have a seizure. This ensures your independence but also offers the reassurance that a random unqualified person finds you after a seizure or gets freaked out by your seizure and doesn't know what to do.

You just have to keep doing as much as you can for yourself, if your having a bad day take it easy ask for help with things around the house, cooking or whatever all you may need. Just don`t give up. Speak only for myself I Will Fight Tooth And Nail Before I Lose My INDEPENDENCE . I started using a Volenteer transport program just a few weeks ago, it`s run through DSS and they put you through to these people. You do have to fill out a application for it and if approved they also will take you grocery shopping once a month. Keep Your Spirits Up..............((@

Like many of you I am struggling with the lack of independence.

Randy,,,,I agree with you all the way

D@ I think that would depend on my definition which right now would include telling them. I feel we the EPILEPTIC must be Honest with the Employer the same way.
