As some of you may know, a month or so ago, I had a seizure and spent some time in hospital, had some CAT scans, etc. I also suffer from myoclonic jerks.
On Monday I had an EEG scan, and this morning we got the results back, I apperantly have a sort of semi epilepsy, with another seizure a certainty, and now I have to be put on medication to cure the jerking.
To cap it off, I may not be able to pursue a career as a pilot now.

Gandalf, sorry to hear that. I know what its like to have some "physical" condition prevent a possible career choice. Its a painful feeling.Gandalf wrote:As some of you may know, a month or so ago, I had a seizure and spent some time in hospital, had some CAT scans, etc. I also suffer from myoclonic jerks.

That sucks, dude. But for what it's worth, a friend of mine has a similar condition. Her case is so severe that she isn't supposed to even drive a car without her meds, and her meds are so strong that she has to take other meds to counteract the side effects.
Nonetheless, she runs her own catering business, and is so sucessful that she has bought a house on her own and is able to take trips two or three times a year. (Not to mention that she throws the best parties)

Firstly, thanks everyone very much for your support. I saw more doctors today, I'm now on medication, 2 pills a day until further notice. And blood tests every 6 months starting in 2 weeks.
Piloting is now out completely.
