Can you become a member of the guards with epilepsy ?

    I would love to pursue a career with the guards but I’m afraid that my epilepsy might stop me. It’s controlled with medication and I’m also allowed to be on the road.. I’m wondering if anyone would know the answer to this or would anyone have experience ? Just also a heads up it’s primary generalised epilepsy if any of you know what that is. ( I would lose awareness of what I was doing or sometimes have a little muscle spasm ) but after I got onto medication I’m feeling better than ever.

    Moved to a forum that's actually related to the topic instead.
