Do you guys know in San Francisco what the law is for reporting epileptics ? My doc said that she has to report me to the DMV and I want to know how long can't I drive ? Does it appear on my background check and my employers can see that I am epileptic ? When can I drive again ?
My neurologist said it takes a year without a seizure to be able to drive.
D@ Why do MANY People want to hide that they are EPILEPTIC? Until a Person accepts what GOD gave them, that EPILEPTIC will have nothing but problems. that is why i wish "MyEpilepsyTeam" would have a Place showing all the EPILEPTIC Famous People. There are hundreds in our History like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, I think Abraham Lincoln, also many current Actors and Sports Figures. Like many of the OLYLIPIANS, watch the Handicap OLYMPICS coming up in a week or so to see some.
My doc doesn't report me to the DMV, so I drive when she tells me I can. I don't know. If you haven't had any seizures in two years, you don't know if you will have one tomorrow, or 8 years from now. I think you should be able to drive at such a point, or maybe even a little earlier. Of course anyone would be horrified if they killed someone, but you could kill someone just by looking at your phone, speeding, etc.
Seizure free for 6 months
Hav to say I didn't let ep stop me from driving all my life,, My sz last 10 seconds then back to normal and when I was driving I pull over put in park and I knew when one was coming, Plus had lots of people tell me he cant worked in factory, Well they were wrong I work on assembly line at GM and was a Electrician for 10 yrs working with live wires by myself well now retired after 30 yrs and love it and also been sz free 15 yrs now and continue to do side jobs on electrical work, So I show them all I can do it, I was always told by my mom and dad you can do anything if you want just have to make that first move which I did and we now have 2 grandkids we love
