Besides going to DRS, you can check with a temp agency. They can do skill tests for certain jobs and help you get placed.
I have done cashiering, reception, mailroom and more with my seizures over last 30+ years. You have to be your own advocate if you don't feel well or if something/someone doesn't feel/treat you right.
Go to your County Resource Center / Work Force Center . Get a DRS

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Pretty much. I did feel like crap the last few months I was there so I was desperate to get out. Originally the reason I was leaving was due to my knee but towards the end it was more due to how hard it was to work there. Then when I tracked back it turned out I was most likely working and having seizures and not even knowing about it.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member It was ok when I first started apart from the two year period where I just didn't know anyone and a lot of my old work mates in the current detarment and my old department were leaving so it got really depressing. Because it was a fast paced environment I always knew I would need to get out at some point. The work itself was very fast paced and very repetitive. I actually did my knee so I always thought my body just couldn't take it much longer. I didn't know the months after I left I would then have a TC seizure.
I hope everything goes well.
