No. I did lose the ability to drive b/c of complex partial seizures (new term used today after 2017 reclassification but you know what I mean) for about 3 yrs. But I'm driving again. So keep the faith. Work with your Dr and find best drugs for you. I took 5 drugs in four yrs & they didn't work. Had brain surgery. I'm seizure free for more than 6 yrs now. And my driving goes well.

I'm not allowed to drive because I have seizures too often

I drive very little. So yes since my last seizure in 21 which knocked me for a loop and scared the crap out of me the most I drive is to the store once in while to the doctor in town once in a while and thats it. So yes I feel very defeated.

I'm very glad you are putting others before yourself when it comes to driving. 🥰
