Question CAA vs FAA on EEG regs

I have got an EEG abnormality (apparently quite common) which means a theoretically increased risk of epilepsy. Getting re-tested at Gatwick soon.

However, if the 'spikes' are still there I cannot get Class 1. Does anyone know if the FAA insists on the EEG, and if so do they have the same requirements? (Have searched the postings but couldn't find an answer)

Thinking of trying to emigrate to the US to train + work there...

Thanks.

PS No family history of epilepsy whatsoever, never fainted.
Also should I give up beer?! I drink 'sensibly' but does it have an effect?
