Insurers
Twenty years ago I had a couple of epileptic fits. I have been on medication ever since with no recurrence. You'd think that it could be considered to be controlled and a low risk. If I did have a seizure, going on past experience give me a few minutes to have the fit and then an hour for the brain to catch up and I'm back to normal so chances are I would not need medical attention. Annual Worldwide travel insurance without disclosing it. £40.00. Go through the pre-existing medical conditions bit and you can add £100.00!

I have exactly those kind of fits
They are completely controlled by medication. I have maybe - maybe - two a year, when I forget to take it and am hungover, and spend too long in front of a screen. These are pretty much the only conditions I have them. Additionally, I can see them coming a mile off.

Can I get a driving license? Can I bollocks.

Try getting it after a DVT
and now being on warfarin (so actually at more of a risk of bleeding out), and going windsurfing, which for some reason is in the same class of sports as climbing as far as insurers are concerned (hint: if you fall off a windsurfing board, water is soft, and the mast falls slowly enough for you to get the fuck out of the way)
