As For Our Conditions And Being Under Someone's Supervision Let's Say, Is That All Times? More Below And Wondering

I have had my condition since 7 and I am around some people some of the time, but what about the times they are not around and you went off by yourself and no one is near you and vise versa, it's 50/50 with me as for being around some one, I have gone out on my own say back in the day and liked to fish, sometimes i had someone to fish with me and other times no, and was ok doing that, I think that I may have had a seizure by myself at a little pond I was fishing and was half wet, so didn't let… read more

I've never been dependent on others & I can't worry about the unexpected.

In my 40’s I live with my parents and am always in the watch of a family member or friend.

I am not under anyone's supervision. The Neurologist just makes sure that the pills are working for me.

I think it all depends on the severity of ur epilepsy. When mine started progressing the dr wanted me to get a roommate but they also know that I don’t want one, have a trained seizure alert dog that I pay attention to and there’s no way I would ever live in a home. So I’m still living by myself and I continue to live by myself and take my queues from my dog and my auras and they are satisfied with that. Yea I’ve been found on the streets after having either a seizure or a TIA, but my dog was always with me and alerted that I needed help and wouldn’t stop until someone came. Most ppl were scared of my last dog as he was a husky/wolf mix who weighed 135+ lbs and I had trained him to pin me down so it looked like he had knocked me down or something but most of the town knows I have epilepsy so they would still call someone or get me home and if nobody was around my dog would wait it out and help me up and guide me home. And the dog I have now is only 65 lbs and only 18 months old but is well trained on what to do. But I only leave him at home if I will be with someone who knows what to do. So yes I think we can do things on our own and continue to live a relatively normal life, still do things we want to and still be safe as long as we know our limits and stay within them
