Re: [epilepsy] Advice for my son.

Hi Melloney,

Welcome to the group, my advise is before you decide to take you son off the medication just because he hasn't had seizures for awhile. Please see your doctor before you decide to take him off the med,this is only for his safety and those around him. Make sure he give it a try to go to work. My advise to you and son play it safe not only for your son but for those that he may have to work with.You friend Rodolfo Once again welcome to the group

Hi, I'm a new member and I'm looking for some advice for my son. He is 15 years old and has had epilepsy for the las 18 months (seizures and absence seizures). He has good control now with his medication and hasnt had a seizure in 6 months.
He has been looking for a after-school job and never knows what to say in the application form "health" questions. He knows he should mention his epilepsy but doesn't want to scare off a prospective employer.
What should he write?
