Hi Tim,
Hope all going more positive now for you. I can relate to
what you are saying. My first seizure was when I was 17 and
I was driving. The result was that the car went off the road
and into a tree. One person in the front seat was seriously
injured. This was before using seat belts as we do today. I
had seizures post this for about 35 years. Then I had left
temporal surgery and day seizures stopped completely, however
nocturnal ones began. Since seizures are still just when asleep,
I was able to get my driving license back. It was still the right
step getting the surgery and if seizures continue with you, I'd suggest you look into the possibility of this. I do not know
where you are living now, but if near New York, NYU is a great place to find good doctors. Good luck Tim, and please fill us in on how this goes. Take care.
Sincerely, Doris
