Epilepsy and driving?
My boyfriend applied for his provisional license a few years back, but then found out he had epilepsy, so he couldn't learn to drive. Hes been seizure free for a little over a year now, so he wants to learn, but doesn't know what forms he needs to fill in or where 2 get them etc. Anyone know what his next step is?Cheers
Simple Partial Epilepsy and Driving?
So I recently found out that I most likely have simple partial epilepsy and I am going to go to the doctors to find out. My only fear is that they might take my driver's license away. I have never had an " attack" when driving. I only get them when I start moving too quickly, and when driving you don't move your body at all. My thing is I get a motor freeze in my face, hands, and feet. What happens is my muscles freeze up and contort. I am fully aware and concious during it and they only last about 10 15 seconds. If I go to the doctors do you think my license will get revoked? Once again, it NEVER happens when I drive and I am still fully concious and aware. I can sort of talk more like make sounds and sort of move but just not my fingers, feet, or face.
Epilepsy and driving?
Yesterday I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I'm having complex partial seizures. I've been put on Keppra & have to prove that I haven't had a seizure for 3 months before I can start driving again. I have no problem with obeying this law, but my doctor told me that according to Arizona law that I have to go to the MVD & fill out a form letting them know that I have been diagnosed with epilepsy within five days of the diagnosis. Then after 3 months of not having a seizure I need to go back & fill out a form stating that I haven't had a seizure. So here's the deal I have no problem not driving for three months, but I have issues with the government knowing my business...especially medical related. Is it better to fill out the form and comply with the MVD's rules or not fill out the form, but adhere to my doctor's recommendation? I read somewhere that it is recommended to fill out the form because it covers me from liability. But I'm worred that my insurance will find out & stop coveraged.Just to clarify, I would NEVER drive until my doctor & I have confirmed that my medicine is working properly & that it's highly unlikely for me to have another seizure. I would never want to endanger myself or anyone else. If these were to continue, then I would just not drive. I have friends & family who can drive me, therefore it is not a necessity that I drive myself. However, my issue is liability & I would prefer to hear from ppl who have epilepsy and what they did to prevent themselves from liability issues. If it means filling out the form then fine...I have no problem with that. I want to be safe, but I think everyone should put themselves in my shoes for a moment. No one likes the government medeling in their affairs. Would you like to report that you've had crabs every time you enter a bathroom? I doubt it, so just be a little bit more considerate of a person's emotions. It's been a tramatic week. I went from being told it could be a tumor to thankfully only having epilepsy.
Epilepsy and Driving?
Is there anyway my neurologist could stop me from driving if im diagnosed with a form of epilepsy? Can my insurance be canceled? Can my license be suspended? What happens if i get stopped with a suspended license? Can the neurologist directly contact the DMV? Im in the state of Washington by the way. Any answers you guys can give would be greatly appreciated, Thank You.
