What Are People's Reactions If You Tell Them That You Have Epilepsy?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, I'm trying to tease apart the elements surrounding the stigma in order to build a strategy for fighting it. While families and romantic partners have as many different reactions as there are people with epilepsy, I'm trying to figure out useful generalizations that might be made about reactions from friends and acquaintances. All comments are appreciated!

Do You Still Have Your License?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Something some said got to me. Not all forms of epilepsy make tou loose consciensness. I am always alart and and aware of several of my triggers. My sezuires are either absent, mind staring or simple/conplex jerks (like a cold chill).

I have complex partial seizures. My neurologist and I have talked about my license as I have brought it up. He sees no reason to revoke my license and my diagnosis does not require them to be.

Anyone else still have their license?

Have You Ever?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm just wondering has anyone had a seizure during a doctor's appointment?

I'm asking this question as I've heard a youtube neurologist say it's very rare for a seizure to happen at a doctor's office.
But aren't seizures unpredictable and can happen anywhere so I'm confused about this statement.
