There are seizures and there are seizures. One can have 'absent' seizures which look you're nodding off or falling asleep. My husband has those all the time. People who don't know, think he just can't stay awake. Then there are the 'rage' seizures, where you beat the walls and feel no pain. My son has a number of scars from when he did just that. He was not aware of what was happening. So seizures come in all shapes and sizes. Joxer could be having absent seizures and no one would take notice.

Someone (not Melissa Good or McMahon) wrote a sex scene for
Kerry and Dar (characters in Tropical Storm) in
merwolfpack@yahoogroups.com and by sheer coincidence had
some stuff about "unless Kerry is epileptic, which I think she is
not". It's ended up a bit of a debate more or less on whether it is ok
to assume that Kerry does not have epilepsy.
One of the arguments is that Kerry hasn't had any seizures so far
in the story, therefore she isn't epileptic. While this isn't bad
evidence (at least it's better than merely assuming "normal" people
don't have epilepsy, which is what I want to argue against), it's
possible for people to have only one or two epileptic seizures in a
lifetime, right?
