I'll skip the usual "welcome to CWE" and "You'll love the people here" and get right down to brass tacks.
In your lifetime, you have a .0001 chance of dyeing from Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy. But the vast majority of these had sub-clinical levels of their anti-seizure meds in their bodies (In other words, you can control this)*
You have a ,00000003 chance of dying from a car crash while you are having a seizure**
You have a .004 chance of dying as a car occupant***
You have a .000077 chance of dying from a fire ***
You have a .30 chance of dying from an accidental fall or other injury ***
I don't know about you, but I'm concentrating on taking the proper dose of meds on time, getting my blood levels checked when my doctor tells me to, and watching where I put my feet, how I step into the bathtub, or how I stand on the ladder. Much more important to staying alive than worrying about dying from epilepsy-related causes.
*Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy is around 1 in 1000 for people with epilepsy, but the majority had a subclinical level of their meds in their bloodstream.
