I have been having seizures for 4 years now and although I am not diagnosed yet the specialist I am currently seeing is adament it is epilepsy. I am struggling to cope and my school work is suffering. How do other people manage to cope? Is it just me struggling with life? I worry I will never be offered a job when people know I have epilepsy
