Hi questioner,

I've never been able to drive since I have never been able to go one yr. without a sz. but there's a possibility that stress or being photosensitive could be triggering the sz. for your spouse. Stress and lack of sleep are the two big things that can trigger sz. for a person. To find out if your spouse is photosensitive the neuro. will have to order a special e.e.g. to be done where they will flash different color strobe lights one at a time during the test and by doing this they can tell if certain colors or brightness will trigger a sz. for a person. I found out that florescent green, amber, and bright white like the sun shining on the snow will trigger sz. for me when they did this test. Here's wishing you and your spouse only the best and May God Bless the Both of You!

Sue
