Diving with someone who has seizures?

I have a history of Epileptic seizures. I have been on medication for a long time and I can legally drive, I have not had an epileptic seizure in years. Would this influence anyone's decision to dive with me?

By horrible circumstance I have begun having non-epileptic seizures which cannot be treated by medication, they are caused by stress and trauma. I will not enter the water while I am in this situation, but what is a reasonable time to be seizure free before any of you would allow a person to be in the water with you, if you would allow them in the water with you? Would you want a total of 3 people present instead of a 2 person buddy system?

Everyone's point of view would be greatly appreciated on this, as well as thoughts on other medical conditions that would limit your willingness to enter the water with someone.
