epilepsy and skydiving
 
i want to go skydiving and i am epileptic. Every time i have a seizure is the combination of lack of sleep and excitement including not taking my medicine. tThe first time i had my Seizure i was going to six flags with my friends and i stayed up lated and got excited for six flags and had a seizure. every seizure after that was basically because i did not take my medicene and i lied to my parents telling them i did and the eventually found out i didnt. My last seizure was in October 2013 ruining my 2year free mark of seizures because i got lazy and didnt take my meds. That last seizure was when i was packing for PR and i went to bed at 1 and my dad wanted us at up and gone at 3 to catch the plane at 6 and i didnt take my meds and i was so excited once again and sleep deprived. but keeping in mind my seizures only happen in the morning, and one at night. my seizures last 2 mins and i want to go skydiving but i dont know everytime i read the website regulations they say people with epilepsy are not allowed. I always wanted to do this and i paid for this for my birthday and even conviced my friends to go with me … oh gheez.

Not sure what you're asking/seeking (if anything).

There is an Epilepsy forum here.
