I have an epileptic friend, got him to join a facebook support group. Well... he tells me that, everyone on facebook says stuff like, "get used to never working again" and "You'll be dependent on others for the rest of your life" and "Yeah doctors will never figure it out" and stuff like that. Tis can't be true, surely there's ways to get jobs, live dependently, get money for doctors and actually get a diagnosis, etc.

Someone has seizures, whether petit or mal, sometimes a few times a day, sometimes he'll go weeks without one- does this automatically mean he'll never get a job, he'll never be able to live independently, that doctors will continue to dismiss him or not refer him or get him any kind of tests or medicine?
