Does Anybody Know A Person With Epilepsy That Has A Welding Job?

I can’t see a neurologist clearing someone to work as a welder. However, if a person is seizure free for 3-6 months, there might be a chance. I would definitely discuss it with your neurologist just so you know where you stand.

I don't, but when I was a kid I really wanted to be an underwater welder. Pays VERY well where I live. But welding in general just doesnt seem like a safe thing for someone with uncontrolled epilepsy to do.
