How do you deal with epilepsy at work? I'm scared to get a job if one of them occurs while I'm working

I just go about and do what I’m supposed to do. If I have a seizure one my coworkers will take me over to a bench and sit me there. After about 5 minutes I get back up and get back to work. No one will even bring up the fact that I had a seizure. I’ve been there for 21 years and have had seizures since day 1. So just ask that someone will sit you down when you have seizure.

Fear is your enemy. It will keep you away Cast any worry to the back of your mind. Go in happy and prepared. Deal with issues if/when they arise. Just feel good.

I just do what I'm supposed to do. I can't control it. If I have a seizure, an ambulance will be called, I'll be taken to the hospital & wake up after about 25 minutes. The next day I have a talk with my boss about my condition. I assure my boss that I am taking my medicine & I can't control when a seizure happens.
