flying with epilepsy

I found out this summer that I have epilepsy. I'm seizure free since being diagnosed and put on meds.

Just wondering how many other frequent travelers out there have epilepsy and what, if any, precautions they take. (I have a medic alert bracelet with an online id).

Also, when flying, does anyone ever tell the purser? I hesitate about this -- wondering if its better for them to know in case I do have a seizure or to not freak them out.

thoughts....?
