Hey I'm Em, and I'm 18. I also live in the state of FL. my neuro only said 6 months that I can't drive after I have a seizure to get my driver's license in the state of Fl. I don't have my license yet (still working on that...I am a really bad driver though =P) But, I went back to her after I had one to make sure I don't need a form to drive and she never mentioned it. If it is 24 months, well there's going to be a little complication with the college thing, and seriously a review board...oh. Either way I know this comment doesn't help you much because I never knew about the review board. This comment is more of a "you're not the only one and letting you know personally online". But ya though, yay Florida! Congrats on making a whole year without having a seizure that's a big accomplishment!
