Epilepsy
Like everybody i've always wanted to fly for an airline.
I'm 21, will graduate this year and in a good position for a loan with HSBC.
Snag is when I was 8 was hospitalised in a coma (after being very ill for a week or so with high temp) with suspected encephalitis, was discharged and took anticonvulsants for 1 month then nothing. 1 year later similar thing happened, was reported as fitting. Took a diff drug for another 2 years. Nothing has happened since then i.e. 13 years and have taken no drugs for at least 10 years. I have never walked down the street and had a fit, basically only on the second occasion was fitting mentioned and both times in hospital was after severe viral type infection.
I have spoken to CAA Gatwick and they said I may be OK.
However after reviewing my record I am extremely worried and cant stand the thought of not getting a class 1 medical. Or worse getting it and not ever getting a job.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or experiences.
