Does Anyone Want To Work Like I Do, But Get Scared Because Of Your Seizures?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I used to be able to work, but had to stop because I don't feel the seizures when they start. I was turned down on a job because I had a light seizure and the manager saw it.

I have a job working at a small shop. Where I work all of my coworkers have a disability.
I’ve had a few seizures over the years that I have been working there.
The pay is not good but it gets me out of the house and I have fun with my coworkers. I’m always able to get my coworkers and supervisors to laugh. My boss has no sense of humor.
I also get a check every month from social security. There is a limit on how much money that I can make. If I go over. I will lose my disability check.

I have seizures at work but everybody knows what to do so I don’t get scared.

I dream of the day that I can work and I’m not giving up hope. I think it’s great that you’re still doing job interviews.

I miss working. I use to have no problem working. That was when I lived in The big cities. But since I’m on SSDI and live in a rural area , it’s nearly impossible for me to even try to work
