Today, I actually had to reassure the girl I'm seeing that she can't "catch" my epilepsy. FML

Today, at work, my phone kept crashing. Without thinking, I announced that it was having a seizure. Who did I announce this to? My boss. Who also happens to have epilepsy. FML

Today, I had to call 911 and explain to the operator that my girlfriend orgasmed so hard she had a seizure and passed out. FML

Today, I had a seizure in class. Being an epileptic, I had warned my professor of the possibility that I could have one in class. She was understanding and seemed very concerned about my issue at the time. After I had the seizure, however, she asked me if I had ever tried exorcism. FML

Today, while on a first date with a guy who turned out to be twice my age, we were playing video games at the theatre before the movie started. Suddenly he falls face first while having a seizure. The EMT asked if my "dad" had a history of epilepsy. FML

Today, I had a seizure while at the airport, ready to go on vacation with my family. We ended up missing our flight. My mom spent most of the ride home making cracks about how I'm always ruining things with my "dramatics". Sorry that I have epilepsy, mom. FML

Today, I finally got medication to deal with my seizures. I've had them since I was 5, but my mother had always believed I was faking it. When I seized during a basketball game, she actually came onto the court and lectured the referee for "humoring" me. FML

You what now?

Today, I had a seizure. My dad responded by saying it always happens with my disease. I never have had a disease. Now I have to wait for my dad to stop yelling at my mom about not telling me, so I can ask what I have in the first place. FML

Today, I asked a girl I like out. She ended up having an asthma attack because she was laughing so hard. I guess that's a no. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I cancelled our date tonight. I cancelled because I had a seizure and was taken to the hospital. FML

Today, I was waiting for my girlfriend, I wanted to have a serious talk about her hypochondria. She called to cancel because she was (self) diagnosed with some sort of 'neurological disorder'. FML

Educate her before you rule her out as stupid

Even though what she said was highly unintelligent, some people seriously have little to zero knowledge on chronic disorders. You should try and educate her, so she can understand it better.

Just tell her that you are practicing new dance moves. She doesn't sound smart enough to figure out otherwise.

Hopefully it's ignorance not stupidity, you can't fix stupid.

Did you tell her she can save hundreds on car insurance in just 15 minutes?

Reminds me of when a girl I know was convinced she caught diabetes from her boyfriend. She didn't even have diabetes, she just pretended she did. She's really strange and lies a lot though, so it was probably more her lying problem than ignorance/stupidity like the girl OP is seeing.

I agree with the good portion of people that she may not have been educated about epilepsy prior to meeting you. Give her a chance after explaining it, and if she still doesn't get it, then I'd move on.

To be fair, the only way she could know that is if someone tells her.

I've had epilepsy all my life. You'd be surprised at how many people have it but how few actually know exactly what it is. That it's not always what you see on tv. Hopefully this girl will take the time to understand and feel bad for thinking otherwise. If not I would move on.
