I've been living alone with it for years and been fine but everyone's experience is going to be different. My seizures are pretty manageable with medication; I did have a full on seizure that sent me to the hospital, but that was how we discovered I had epilepsy in the first place.

Try to log symptoms and keep track of how many times you have incidents. As for if you need to work from home or not, I would chat with your doctor about it.

I live alone with epilepsy, mine is quite manageable with medication. If anything I’m just more diligent about sleep, healthy eating exercise etc. If god forbid SUDEP occurred, I’m not sure living with someone else would change anything, it’s one of those things where if it happens it happens.

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications.

Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

So I’m planning on leaving my position before school starts, but the application and interview process has been slow. At this point I’m afraid I won’t find a job until late July. Should I let my school now and let them post my job as an anticipated position? I’d hate for them to have to find someone last minute, but I also want to keep that school as a fall back just in case. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible position and there has not been a lot of interest in it in the past.
