there is none. Do car makers gaurantee that you will not have an accident or get hit by a car? Most of my life I have slept 5-6 hours a night. Stress is another trigger and my jobs were stressful. That stress I left at the door when leaving work and picked it up the next morning. There is no way to say you will not have seizures. If your seizures have been reduced in the number of seizures and the intensity if thise seizures some doctors would say your seizures are controled. I have been working at being seizure free for 50+ years. I can say that I have had no convulsive seizures since 1969-70 and was seizure free for 3+ years the number of seizures I have now is low and the seizures now last seconds. neurologists have been working on getting their patients seizure free but there may and will be people who will not be seizure free.
