Epilepsy is a misunderstood condition. Don’t let this affect you living a full and active life. Many people with newly-diagnosed epilepsy respond well to epilepsy medicine. This means that they have fewer seizures, or the seizures stop altogether. To learn more about epilepsy you may wish to visit our webpage epilepsy.org.uk/info/basics

So right you are here above. Epilepsy is one of the invisible illnesses/syndromes. I usually say that " it works against me" to have conditions like that. In addition to epilepsy ( very mild now after an operation, still taking medicine) I have Restless Legs Syndrome, fibromyalgia and poly myalgia and GCA. None visible unless having overdone it.
