does anybody know if epilepsi can have any bearing on the result of the medicals to Australia? My wife is very slightly epileptic, she has had 3 fits in the last 14 years, all while she was sleeping and not taking her tablets, She can drive and work as normal, and her Doctor has even mentioned stopping the tablets cause they're so weak they hardly do anything. I dont think this will affect our application, but I'm just starting to panic a bit as the time draws nearer! We should get our medicals in the next couple of months.
Thanks, Ger

Hi Ger,

I had epilepsy too. I informed the doctor while doing my medicals and
managed to get my PR. Also, your wife should get a medical report from her
doctor who handles her epilepsy before going for your medicals.

Good luck!

Cheers
Eileen
