Hi Robert, nice to e-meet you. Having seizures can definitely be isolating. So few people understand what is happening. You mention that your company was accepting of your medical history and related absences. Was it also an environment where your work colleagues were willing to learn more about epilepsy and seizures?
Am I reading your message correctly that you were seizure free for 4 years but the seizures with convulsions have returned now?
