Looking To Get Back Into Dating How Do Some Of You Explain Your Different Medical Issues?

Afraid to let woman know about my different medical issues and she wouldn't want to be with me

Just be honest with her but don’t tell her all the details at once. Be open with her and let her know that you will always be there for her and if she can’t handle what you can’t control (epilepsy and medical conditions) then just let go and continue the journey!
The right woman will come for you, just be you and tell the truth!
Basically just don’t give up.

I learned that with my boyfriend I have now. I told him about the epilepsy and then a couple weeks later told about me being pregnant. He said that if he wants me he accepts what I have going on. Being pregnant and epileptic and the baby’s not his and he is still there for me.

Be honest. If that scares her, then you deserve better anyways.

When I dated I would just be honest when needed be, I would say, I have epilepsy and occasional seizures but it's not that bad :) I haven't had problems with dating because of that. Just be brave and honest :)
