Hey, its Roxanne again!
Ive found the right place to post my question, which is about having epilepsy and being a hairdresser.
I would like to persue a career in hairdressing but i really feel my epilepsy is holding me back.
I have the opportunity to start a hairdressing course in June but to be honest im really scared because of my condition.
My friends and family say not to worry but i cant help it! I need to know if there is anybody out there who has epilepsy and is a hairdresser or if anybody knows of anyone who is a hairdresser and has epilepsy...
Id love to hear peoples opinions about it too.. My situation is that i have not had a full seizure since being put on my medication in July 2007 (although i do have what i call 'mini-fits' where i zone out for a few seconds and throw up). I do feel my epilepsy is under control somewhat but i cant help but worry that deciding to do this is wrong.. for all sorts of reasons -most importantly, the health and safety of me and the client.
I mean who would want someone with epilepsy cutting their hair?? Anyone?
I'd really appreciate your thoughts/opinions and information
