@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member can you remember what the jobs were that were getting you to try? based on the results of the memory test.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member No, they just tested my memory and tried to find a job I was capable of

Yes. After I graduated and before I had a job I went through a program that finds disabled people a job. They took me to 4 or 5 places. I did one job for one week then another one a week, etc. I also did a bunch of tests to test my memory. There they said it would be best if I had a job where I did the same thing repetitively (because I have a poor memory with seizures).

I would have to say no. Never experienced it, nor heard of it.

Actually, it’s too late. I now have worked at a grocery store for 21 years. I only get to work 2 short days each week being on disability. I sack the groceries at the register. I’m not allowed to go outside and collect carts like others because one time when I did I was later found laying on the ground in the parking lot having a seizure. A car could have run over me. So since I can’t make much and can’t do anything where I could get hurt if I had a seizure I’ve been at working at the grocery store my whole life.
