there is no reason that you should doubt your ability of being a good and happily married person.

it is best to inform the lady directly without preamble or going round the point about your illness and i am sure she would be supportive and understanding, not doing so will be unfair to her and also dishonest which is not the best way to start a relationship.

if you are worried about your married life please be assured the medications you take or the illness either of them do not effect any aspect of married life

in the lighter vein even Julius Caesar had epilepsy and he was the ruler of rome a much married man with heirs and won many battles as well
