That is how I feel about it also! Too bad everyone doesn't feel the same way.

I am trying not to see ep as a disability just as I do not consider my Crohns a disability, even though I have symptoms, I am not disabled and can live a normal life with small limitations, like not being able to enjoy fireworks on the 4th of July but that is a small price to pay and I realize that I am more fortunate than most. Sometimes I miss little things, like going to concerts but I am fully functioning and do not want anyone to feel sorry for me or treat me like I am disabled.

What if coworkers/supervisor didn't know you had a history of seizures & you come to work one day & end up having a major episode needing 911 to be called? They would tell emergency crews you had never had one before which would/could severely alter the way you are stableized (ie maybe you are given a heavy dose of a med you are allergic to).
