I just tell the person and don't be embarrassed. You are who you are and if the person can't accept it, talks down to you, talks bad about you etc. Who cares?
I've had problems with different people in my family as well....
I say
"You think that I signed up for this?" People don't say anything once I say that 😉

Please don't drive when you have Epilepsy unless it is completely under control. I had one behind the wheel thinking I was good to drive and caused a very serious accident. So please don't, it's better to be safe then sorry. God bless 🙏.
