Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Adults

I had a grandmal seizure in New Hampshire. My license is in Massachusetts. I received a notice in the mail that NH wants me to attend a meeting to revoke my driving priveledges for a year. Can they take away amy Massachusetts license? My seizures are controls and this was the first time in four years. ANy advice is appreciated.

Driving is one of those things that is easy to take for granted until the priviledge is take away. In my situation, the fire department and the EMT's were involved and in this day and age of computers it is easy for the left hand to correspond with the right hand. As it looks now, I will be biding my time for a year before I can drive in NH. I live in MA so it is really not a problem. THanks for your input and best of luck.

I lost my right to drive in NH for a year. They report to MA. I must get my right to drive back in MA first then file doctors report etc in NH, go to a hearing, then pay a $100.00 fine. :( ( Now where is my bus pass?)

Fenway,

You lost me, why do you have to pay fine?
