You have a place to live; perhaps not what you would like, but better than alternatives
you have us (we are an excellent problem solving and venting board )


My advice: contact DMV and verify how long you need to be declared "controlled" so that you can drive again {each state has different rules and they can change every so often}. It wouldn't hurt to get in touch with your local epilepsy foundation chapter either as they can give the ins & outs of driving restoration.

if all else fails - rememebr we love you!
Thank you Jane. I have looked at DMV website and its 3 months. Not as bad as others. And I will follow up with Epilepsy foundation and even the epilepsy board here on neurotalk. It was just such a damn blindside it knocked me out for a minute so to speak. Oh well, on with it. Thanks so much!
