I suffered from Epilepsy as a child, after several years of treatment at a young age I was weened off the drug I was on and had no further problems but they say children often do grow out of it, best wishes.

On a side note, I was sitting behind a captain on short final. His condition unknown to me he started having a full on tourette's attack (not the swearing kind just the severe head twitching). The added stress of landing made this a common event, I was a bit startled at first but it had absolutely no effect on his performance. As a matter of fact I do not think I ever had a rough landing with the guy.
