I've been repetitively turned down for disability. I have some type of seizures once a week, at least wether it be absent or crying. As well as go unconscious at least once a month to every 2 months.

I have a poor memory so I have a small job where I do the same thing repetitively. I’ve had several seizures there. They place me in a office chair and roll me aside. I’ve never had any problems with my bosses or coworkers either.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , I don’t know if you’ve used a disability attorney for applying for your disability but if not, that’s the best way to go. It took me 2 & 1/2 years but with the help of a disability attorney I finally was approved. It looks like your local Epilepsy Foundation might be at this link: https://www.efmiddletn.com/community1.html . Technically I don’t know what part of Tennessee region you live in cause I’m not good at that but on Google this is what looks like what might be closest to you. You can also look up the information on the other Epilepsy Foundations in your state at www.epilepsy.com & contact one of them & see if they can recommend a disability attorney near you & see if they can recommend a Neurologist near you. My local Epilepsy Foundation had me contact a family law firm & they were great. Make notes of what doctors you see & when & why. Your friend in Texas, Becky
I used to work in veterinary medicine as an assistant. I had several seizures at work and my coworkers would make sure I was okay and then build a blanket bed for me to recover on. I never had any problems with my bosses or my coworkers.
