Hi Adrian,
Just wondering about the driving laws in France concerning seizures? How long must you be seizure free to drive? In France are there any neuro's or epileptologists? Might seeing them help just a bit to maybe be able to control your seizures? Might not drinking lower your risks of having seizures to the point you could drive again? Just a couple thoughts I had while reading your post. Take care, keep a smile on your face!
