Check the law in your state.  SignatureDave ©¿© "Ego sum quis ego sum quod ut est quicumque ego sum" http://www.howdydave.com > Howdy Kelly! > > Check the law in your state. good advice. here's a good website with info on each state's laws: http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/rights_driving.html -kelly Hello, I tried that website and did not find what I was looking for. Are there any other websites out there anyone knows of about local laws etc.? thx. >> Howdy Kelly! >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >-kelly Perhaps if you noted what you were looking for, someone in the U.S. might have other links? I was able to click on the site listed below and it gave a long scroll, Alphabetic by State, with lengths of time before driving after a seizure, Dr. requirements for reporting and ?? (something else). And there's a bunch of other subjects on that link, with more information wrt. seizures. (I thought at first, from post below, that you'd had trouble getting the link to open? But it did for me.)

What if you have a small seizure when the light turns from green to red and you don't stop? My doctor said I could drive if.... 1) I had nod small seizures during the EEG 2) Strobe lights didn't provoke seizures during the EEG 3) I didn't have any big seizures for 1 year When I was in college, my EEG changed, and I didn't have small seizures any more, and the strobe lights didn't cause seizures . Actually, I still can't stand strobe lights, but the EEG says they don't provoke seizures anymore. Unfortunately, I have a big seizure every year or two, so I don't drive that much. My state has a 1 year time limit, yours might be different. > are you allowed to drive with simple partial seizures, since you remain > conscious? > > -kelly > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > 3) I didn't have any big seizures for 1 year well, i just got back from neuro, and had no small seizures under EEG, but had one in MRI, oddly enough. we'll see what the doc says next week. -kelly I never had an MRI for my epilepsy. I was born with it, was yours caused by an injury? The only time I had an MRI was when I became dizzy. The MRI was totally normal, I had an inner ear problem, but it got better. How do you see a seizure on an MRI? > well, i just got back from neuro, and had no small seizures under EEG, but > had one in MRI, oddly enough. we'll see what the doc says next week. > > -kelly > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > How do you see a seizure on an MRI? we're not sure if it's epilepsy or seizures caused by something else. possibly brain injury or something else. the other thing is that my mother experienced trauma while i was in the womb which may have caused some damage. MRI can see the damage or differences in brain structures that may lead to seizures or other disorders. -kelly > x-no-archive: yes > > I never had an MRI for my epilepsy.
