Partial complex seizures and driving
I am 30 years old. I've been living with absence and partial complex seizures for 20 of those years. I think they are under control with lamictal, however I don't always know if or when I have a seizure I can get some symptoms I think I'm okay. Anyway I lost my driving privileges when I went to a new doctor. I'm a single mom with two kids but I live in a somewhat accessible area I can walk or do a lot of things on a bike.. is it bad that I don't even want my driving privileges? I feel anxiety about driving because I know that if I'm having a bad day or a bad time I'm not all the way there - no matter how much medicine I take.
I definitely know the feeling of losing driving privileges
. I didn't drive for over 8 yrs. I have been diagnosed with complex partial seizures. I do.drive now, especially since I have to go to work. When I get up in the morning and I feel completely off, will call out or have someone drive me, if possible to work. Ive been living with this for 24 yrs. I always live cautious ly as I was just diagnosed.Hello there. It is true about Epilepsy and driving. I have been diagnosed with partial complex seizure disorder. I don't drive long distances. But at times I cant at all because of anxiety. It is frustrating and sometimes feel being helpless. But we just have deal with and going on with our lives.
I too have same type siezures I walk all times even long walks and walk sometimes late at night and early mornings I live with mom im59 yrs old had siezure over 25 yrs wish I can drive so I can do more for my mom
I still have the odd spell and just when i think I am clean, it comes back. In addition, wife does not trust me with driving, with or without the kids and concerned more about the insurance if i was to get into an accident.
