It does limit what you can do. I've dealt with this for only a year. My first seizure was last year while visiting Denver, CO. I'll be 60 next month. Fortunately i have transportation when I need it.

Sorry you have to deal with Epilepsy. I am learning how to deal with it but the worst is the medication 💊. Put me in the hospital a few weeks ago. This is my 5th medication.
