“Were your driving privileges restricted? It is a common practice in California...”
No. My neurologist, also a member of the state legislature, urged me not to drive for a while and wanted me to go on meds for at least six months. But I declined the meds and drove. I did so because the warning signs before the seizure, what another writer above called “the aura”, were so clear. I knew I would be able to see another seizure coming, if it were to come.
The reason I didn’t see the one in 1999 coming was because I had never had one before.
