@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Thats not very good Sean. This is very similar to a student that I went to school with who had epilepsy but a lot worse than me plus he had other health issues. He did the same thing while his parents were out and passed away. This was only a few weeks after we graduated.

No I can’t. There have been a couple times where I was near water and I had a seizure and fell in. My grandpa had to save me one time and my dad saved me a couple times. One of the times I was huffing and puffing for a few days. Makes me wonder how close I was to drowning.😮‍💨

For me they didn't tell me about that part but did say I would have to wear a heavy type life jacket that's made to keep me above water instead of down. To me though I hated restrictions of doing what I used to love to do so I had to stop back at 16 years old which has been 12 years since seizures started and not swimmed also my birthday will be coming up in December so around that day I'll just mark that day as 13 years of having them because I don't remember exact date my first seizure happened just remembered the area I was at when that one happened.

Its normally advised that you don't. When I had uncontrolled seizures last year I just avoided it which meant I hadn't done any swimming for about two years.
