When I was younger I had a few epileptic seizures. They were relatively minor, in that I was fully aware of my surroundings and was (mostly) in control of my body. The only known trigger was CRT televisions and monitors. My fits would always occur after a good amount of time had passed when watching the monitor (usually around 20 minutes). Given this, the rarity of CRT monitors nowadays and the fact that it's been over 7 years since my last fit, I would have bet my life on the appeal being accepted. But apparently, when it comes to photosensitive epilepsy, they allow no exceptions.

Yep, all of this was in the medical records and doctors note I gave to the appeals guys. But no luck.

Firefighting doesn't sound like a bad idea honestly. I'll look into it, and hopefully the medical requirements aren't similar.
