epileptic stuff and family

Do you often tell your family about your epilepsy? I live with my parents and brother, and I used to be communicative when it came to when I had myoclonic jerks, for exemple. But recently, honestly, I've been keeping it to myself. I know it can be dangerous, but I'm kinda of tired of my family (specially my mother) being so in panic everytime I tell them something. I can't stand people in panic, it makes me even more anxious.
