[epilepsy] Re: DMV question.

 

If it were me I would immedicately start using transdermal magnesium to try to get my magnesium levels up enough to stop having those seizures or episodes regarless how small they are. It may take as long as a month or even more but it doesn't sound as if it would take very long.
For me it would be too tempting to get the license now as I would be tempted to use it regardless if I was still have small seizures or not. And it is really not wise to drive when you are still having seizures - nor is it fair to other people in your car nor is it fair to other drivers. It is easy to say "I am sorry" after somebody has been hurt, but in reality it does not help unfortunately. Besides if you got hurt who would look after your kids? and your kids would be very scaried and worried too.

Good luck!

I plan on going the first of the month to get my learners and start to learn how to drive .but My issue is my doctor said not to drive or be alone with my kids intill i see a neuro and get testing done about the seizures i had. I have not had any bad spells like the first one. If nothing else ive had maybe 2 in the last month or so.. and they were not that bad and i dont even really remember them i just remember being dazed and confused and really tired and out of it. i remember feeling like one was comming on. but blanked out.And if i was driving I would have to be with someone else at all time with a learners. So .Should i wait for a neuro to say okay i can or just go to the DMV and get my leaners and not mention the seizures.

I can tell when ones comming on so i d have time to pull off of the road and park intill its done and call someone. Im ready for some independance and tired of having to rely on everyone to take me to my daughters doctors appointments or to mine.and i cant really go to school or work without my liecense.
