Practical things; I have to review my driving license every three years (which makes hiring cars a problem) & I'm not allowed a bike license anymore. I have to take two lots of medication twice a day, which I remember to do 98% of the time. I have to have reviews at the hospital every three months - MRI scans etc. Life assurance costs me three times what it would cost you.
Physical impact; if I have a full on seizure (grand mal tonic clonic) I lose my memory & bladder control, tear muscles from the convulsions and it takes me about a week to fully recover. Luckily I haven't had one of these for about 4 years (hence why I have a driving license).
Sometimes I feel a seizure coming on (sudden aversion to heat, pins & needles down the right hand side of my face) so take an additional type of medication and lie down until it passes. Sometimes it can take hours for this to pass and it feels shit. This last happened to me a couple of months ago when I was in Poland.

Not mental health, though I appreciate that many mental health conditions are caused by chemical imbalances etc.
There's a guy here that suffers from Grand Mal, he doesn't get any aura or forewarning.

"so and so doesn't have that therefore it never happens" isn't an argument.

I suppose I should have added 'which is probably worse'.
