I did a job change for a few years. Like you I was I was a manager in a kitchen. I became a CNA. It’s a short course you can take, and it can have a flexable schedule. Part time, perdiem, fulltime. You also might be able to get help paying for it by the state.

I work as an in home caregiver but my seizures are fairly controlled. I atarted this after my mom died but ALSO i dont need a car. I dont get a 40 week but thats life. Alot caregiver jobs need you to have a car but obviously not all

I am a cna but dont have a job in a facility yet. Before now i was a cargiver for an at home company so id go to differnt places. I dont have a car so i take the bus from place to place. You have to find a company that does not require a car or liscence. I decided to tell them aboutt my epilepsy once i was offered the job and told them of my meds. I did strertch the time frame of my last seizure. Once i got to know my clients i would tell them. Explain what happens and just to call 911. I dont usually need to. But for their comfort and to not have any responsibility i say to call 911. I also tell them i am usually countious by the time the ambulance gets there which is true.

Ask voc rehab if you can get dissability and learn a trade or colledge at the same time

Hope this helps.
Oh onxe i had a seizure in front of a client but he did not feel the need to call my company.

Definitely try vocational rehab. Vocational Rehab will tell you this too, try temp agencies.

I was a financial manager four years ago and I was diagnosed and due to falls my memory has been affected so I haven’t been able to work. I would love to but I would get fired for being out too much. My meds control most of the seizures but I still have them monthly at least but the meds make me so tired the dr wasn’t sure upping the dose would be better or worse for me so we are waiting some more before we decide
