I did tell my coworkers and boss, which then luckily got rides from them.
Do epileptic's brains work on over drive to handle every day life (not including when seizures accure) compared to non-epileptics brain?
soothing music relieves stress helps with seizures
There are many friends and families, who have driven me to places. Some are fast drivers, some may be cautious, people who easily get road rage. I myself don’t, let any of them get to my nerves ,since I’ve never been in control of driving .
Thanks , to all that have posted and commented to my question
I find on Facebook many people state the drive although their license has been pulled. I was diagnosed when I had a tonic clonic seizure driving and crashed my car. I believe many people still drive thinking an aura/focal is no big deal. These as in my case; can lead to TCs.
