Controlled Epileptic

Hi folks, I am a big fan of the forum, especially the medical page. I hope one day to become a pilot myself, and I was wondering if you could recommend a medical examiner who errs on the side of discretion.
I do have a few minor medical problems, but my doctor said that having a seizure once a month is not too bad considering my past injuries. At least now, I only jerk down the right side of the body, which hopefully shouldn't be too much of a problem, if I am sat in the left hand seat of the cockpit.
The voices have nearly stopped altogether, and they rarely tell me to do bad things anymore. I find that an "eye opener" in my tea every morning appears to help.
I was hoping to work for one of the big airlines in the future, or maybe try something more challenging, such as a flying instructor.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cindy, (my guide dog), and I would be very grateful.
