Statements that DO apply are witness statements, people that have seen your seizures. I recalled having a seizure at a hospital when I was getting my arm re-wrapped so I obtained that statement from the hospital ER records.
For medical records get ready with the pen to do release forms for ANY Dr you can think of that can help you going back to your GP even (if you had seizures back then). I also included my old Neuros and Opthamologist (sp?) (eye Dr) from back when.
I had kept annual seizure logs (monthly) so THAT was a huge benefit for me. I also noted when medications were changed, totaled the monthly amount of seizures on that log.
Seizure logs, even if on wall calanders is for your benefit. It helps "prove" the amount you had. Thats why a lot of us on here encourage people to use ONE SPECIFIC calandar just for seizures and related.
I personally like the pocket ones; but they often don't have enough room so you need to go with time and letter code if you have multiple per day. Or go with a slightly larger one that is not the "month at a glance" type. (week at a glance?)
Having the 3 or 4 years worth of logs added invaluable data to show how often I had seizures along with the medication changes over that time frame (hospital records backed up med changes).
Only a few of the seizures was I admitted to the ER. I refuse to go. In the past they had overdosed me. Thats about all they can do unless you have a serious physical injury. So why go when you can stay home and sleep off the symptoms, as long as you are not having seizure after seizure.

I thought it might be a problem. I enjoy working. The doctors are doing their best to keep me under control. Would it help if the doctor gave you a statement? Or don't they do that because you don't have many seizures that can affect your work?
