Does Anyone Else Feel They Get Treated Less Worthy While Having Seizures?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been a part of a group for a longer period of time than everyone else. However, having seizures I can’t show up as much as others do. Others get bonuses for being there more hours while I get nothing when I’ve been there the most amount of years.

I would have to say yes when people find out. I think I hide it pretty well. If something pops up, I say I'm exhausted and didn't sleep good if the person doesn't know.

In My Early 30's My Mom Passed Then 5 Months Later I Was Laid Off From My Job Because The Head Chef Was Jealous More People Enjoyed My Meals I Prepared On My Own.
