So apparently I have a seizure disorder now. Found out after having 3 seizures, 1 a month ago, 1 on Wednesday and 1 yesterday. So 2 in a row. Thankfully I am now on a medication and seems to be working, I am feeling much more myself. However, when I see a specialist and depending on the diagnosis, I could have my drivers license revoked (obviously I understand why, but its still very frustrating). I also will be talking to my doctor about a service dog for said seizures and a whole host of other issues that have left me with PTSD, anxiety and depression. Before I had the last 2 seizures, I was attempting to get an Emotional Support Animal (ESA), which means I can have an animal in my house without my landlord forcing me to pay extra or anything like that, but my landlord put a bunch of stipulations on the contract which does force me to have to pay for it. I will be talking to my Doctor to see if she knows what I can do, or if I should just apply for a Service animal. Theres tons more but Im super tired and running on 3 hours of sleep (thanks new meds) so thats all for now.

Actually that goes agaist the American Disablities Act if you get a service animal, and if you have your doctor give you a note saying you need this animal your landlord CANNOT charge you for having it. If he does that's a lawsuit waiting to happen to them, so I would also reach out to a lawyer to cover your bases.

All my sympathy with you. I hope you find the triggers and are able to reduce this down. I have worked with seizure affected women in the past, not easy but they did well in the pressured hospital environment. So I know it can be done. Love from me

I thought Canada had similar laws for people with disabilities. Make sure you document everything, have your doctors on your side, and have a lawyer. See if you can get a dog that is both ESA and a trained siezure service animal. I know they are out there. If your landlord tries to pull any crap if you have a good lawyer he'll be paying you, and be forced to repay others he screwed over. Good luck and best wishes for the best outcome for you.

Ouch I'm sorry you've been having seizures daily now. Try to keep the stress down, since that can be a trigger for them. Hopefully you'll find the right pup for you.
