spider,
some pretty good advice and empathy from the folks....
I dont know if I can offer anything but here goes
life throws some pretty peculiar curve balls at folks and dammed if I know why... Like most people, Ive had some ups and downs and lived far from a percieved normal life, but as a result, Ive learnt very quickly to find and identify options. Make sure you investigate each as much as possible and never say never...
It also sounds as if you have some time on your hands. Why not get in and do some basic engineering study for a bit. Gawd knows you'll need it later anyhow and it will tie that excess time up, make you feel productive when you are back in a learning environment again.
Youve got a good case of the "Im not where I want to be frustration blues" happening there by the sounds of it. Now tell me if Ive got it wrong here, but youve just come out of an intensive learning environment, loaded to the hilt with assessments, and the whole school thing has come to an end. For alot of students, their whole purpose in life has been focused on school and a very small narrow pathway after school. If anything disrupts this plan, they are left feeling lost, unfocused, frustrated and badly done by. Theres only one person that can decide what you want and the thing is, while on the surface, something may not quite apeal, but give it a go and it may well take a life and a purpose of its own.
While I can understand your logic, covering or masking symptoms is not the way to go. Any implication that symptoms were hidden for any reason is problably going to have far worse implications than the statement of fact. I nearly didnt get my licence after annorexia and a bout of blood poisoning damaged my kidneys. I was scarely to death for weeks until the all clear finally came back in after being juggled around specialists and the medical practicioners (gawd knows why I got involved in the medical field later though.... I still havent figured it out, but I love it as much as flying, but its soooooo different).
Epilepsy is one of those groups of medical conditions that carries a stigma few other conditions do. Many people tend to assume any seizure is a result of epilesy when so many other causes have been researched. Specific cases such as childhood epilepsy may never reoccur past puberty and so on... so it will be upto your own specialist in conjunction with supporting evidence that with get you through. Just go with the recommendations and treat it as part of the deal, not as a case of lack of fairness or exclusion. Take each step and if frustration creeps up, get to the gym and stress it off. (I used to take the dog for a walk along the beach or go sit and growl at the horse - both the horse and the dog would just stick their face in mine ... animals are great levelers for some reason.)
Anyhow, all the best, just give it the best shot you can...
