No car

Ugh I had the freedom of coming and going, all of a sudden....poof....no driving. My family made me return the plates of my car. It was a sad day. No I feel like such a burden to family and friends. I know they want to help me but most of the time I say no thank you. I want my freedom back! How do you deal with not being able to drive?

  1. I have the grandma conversion Caesars and partial and Caesar

    1. i have had seurize senice i was 8 month old i have never had a car my mom and sisters have took me where i need to go and to dr appointment when i need to go see the dr

  2. I wouldn't be able to drive where I live at anyway because of the traffic and my husband is scared to death that I might have a seizure behind the wheel because of insurance

    1. how are you doing now my name is secunda but i go by sera

    2. i am sorry to hear that dose any body has depression with you having seurize

  3. I understand your pain however I haven't driven now at least 3 yrs and have just about got used it. I find things to look for or at to occupy my time or just take a nap especially if I'm tired and especially if we're on the way to work. Sometimes my driver will a play a movie we both like and we watch the movie. Hope these words help

    1. I completely understand, i just lost my driving privileges .

    2. iam sorry to here that

  4. I have nocturnal seizures mostly, very few daytime Siezures. My triggers seem to be stress, overworking, insomnia/tired. As long as they approve me to carry a license, and I can be responsible enough to drive and carry expensive insurance,I think I should have that right. As selfish as it sounds, there are drunken drivers killing every day totally irresponsible. People have heart attacks while driving, or other illnesses besides Epilepsy. Why the Stigma on Epilepsy?
