Seizures

Hi,
On 15th April and 24th April, I ended up having 2 big seizures. I am now in the process of being diagnosed and the neurologist thinks that it is epilepsy but obviously isn't sure. I think I might have had seizures before but absence seizures. I am about to go into my 3rd year of university so this is going to be a really really important year for me as its my last year. Is there any support that I can get for this? My tutor and year lead have been very supportive but is there any other support that I could get?

I would get into contact with the disability department of your uni, to see if they can offer you support without an official diagnosis. You will not be able to get DSA because you don't have an official diagnosis though.
