Having seizures anytime is a problem, especially at work. Seizures can interfere with ability to do certain kinds of jobs safely, while others it doesn't. Also, some work, if involves lots of stress, changing work hours or other possible triggers can aggravate seizures in some people. A couple things come to mind as I read these posts. 1- Track your seizures using the diary on here. Note when, where, and what occurs. Track if they occur at work, at any time of day, or associated with any triggers This can help you pick out patterns. 2- Talk to your epilepsy doctor. If a person continues to have seizures, despite having tried at least 2 medicines that are appropriate for your type of seizures, then it's time to seek help from a specialist to - - make sure you have epilepsy and know the type of seizures - find out if there are other options that may help, such as medicines specific to your type of seizures, surgical treatment, dietary treatments, devices for example. http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/treatment Don't give up or just let seizures continue without checking things out!
