If you have epilepsy, you may have seizures that make you black out or fall. You're probably taking medicine to prevent them. The medicine may be working well. Or you may still be having some seizures.
Most seizures will not hurt you. But you can get hurt if you have seizures in certain places. Some dangers are easy to spot, like deep water or the edge of a cliff. Some hide in places that you never think of as dangerous - like the average kitchen or bathroom.
Does this mean you have to stop doing everything and not go anywhere at all? No. Chances are, just a few simple changes can help you be safe and still lead an active life.
The trick is to think ahead and plan ahead.
