Hello David,
Remember the excellent advice Gail offered. She’s a wise lady. Don’t forget your rights through the Americans with Disabilities Act. Although advice is so easy to give but often very difficult to implement. Gail has the knowledge and the experience and is an awesome resource for you to reach out to. I’m sure she would be happy to help you, through private messaging if you like. I like being open and honest too but as I understand it it your not being dishonest by withholding health information. I’d probably say “I have Epilepsy” to the interviewer even though I know better. I’ve done it to interviewers and to the police after falling asleep and hitting a truck. Ended up losing my license for a year. Both my doctors wrote convincing letters supporting me but still lost my license because a policeman made a medical judgment he wasn’t qualified to make. I later asked him if he had ever seen anyone have a seizure or anyone that was Post-ictal, he hadn’t. Sorry about babbling on.
Have you checked on how much you’d receive on disability?
Good luck on whatever you decide,
Jake

@davidinvegas I hope your appointment went well. As far as how much information to give to a potential employer, I think several factors to take in to account. What do you experience when you have a seizure? What duties would your job entail, would having a seizure compromise physical safety to you or a coworker? Perhaps a job duty that would negate that. Do you take medications that ward off or minimize the effects of a seizure? Most employers will ask if there are any accommodations that they need to make for you. Hope this helps, and good luck! We are here for you!
