It depends on the type of seizures and medication whether Fields' game is affected. I was diagnosed with epilepsy in my teens and had what is known as "petit mal" seizures which were controlled by medicine. The seizures, when they occurred, were small, where I became confused and out of it for a few seconds. As long as I took my medicine I was able to continue a normal life with no restrictions. One of the keys is finding the right medication. I hadn't had problems for a long time, and several years ago an EEG showed no signs of epilepsy; apparently I had outgrown it. So it might be possible for Fields to continue with football. Each case is different, and time will tell. Wishing the best for him.

With his medical condition, how far (worst case) do you see him falling.

Used to work with a guy who had them often. Whenever work got stressful or kinda busy, you could tell he would be on the brink of having a seizure. His words would slur and he would have a blank stare. We would ask him to go sit down and he would get so angry because he wanted to tough through it like it wasn't a problem. But it was definitely a problem. One time I had him counting some money next to me and he just fell backwards and busted his head. Had a seizure and he was purple for a couple minutes before snapping out of it. Declined the ambulance because it cost too much money. It was just a normal thing for him. Hopefully Fields has medication or gets normal help because I'd imagine being in the NFL can be stressful.
