I just checked where I live and a license is not required for an e-bike.
I would. I don’t have one but have been thinking about it. I have a Mountain Bike that I ride around on.

I've been through all tests for surgery to my left hippocampus but they're worried about the right side and future potential for amnesia.
Has anyone had this surgery?
How has your memory been after?

I am 100% positive that hormones are playing a huge factor in both the frequency and intensity of my seizures but I’m not sure where to start to address it. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!
I started with seizures just as I was coming out of menopause at 54. I’m going to be 64 in June. All of my family and friends as well as myself think my epilepsy was brought on by a hormonal change. I… read more
