Losing a driver's license w/ simple partial epilepsy?

I may have simple partial epilepsy. Has anyone who has this lost your driver's license? The dr. suggested I have a VEEG test in the hospital. But if I get a dx, then what happens? I already take Tegretol so it is pretty under control. I have never felt that my driving would be compromised even if I did have a short episode because I'm fully conscious. Feedback anyone? Elsea

I can't get on medication, until they figure out exactly what it is I have. I had an EMG done and the doc told me that it sounds like simple partial seizures.

My license was also lost. I

My license was also lost. I went to the DMV office for a new license and I saw a long queue of license and a lot of crowded in the office. I Came back from there. I searched on the net and contact to ABA Auto (www.abaautoregistration.com).That guy really helped me and give me new licence easily.

WOW I have a son that's going to be 20 and he had a sezuire almost 3 years ago. He had just gotten his license and a car and NOT for 1 moment did I even think it was fair to make him pay insurance being he couldn't drive. His license wasn't taken away he had to go 6 months without another sezuire and I thank God he never has had one again. It was terrible to find him out cold on the floor and I do mean cold. The Paramedics got there but in the mean time I was lucky that my younger brother knew CPR because his breathing was really shallow.

If you can't drive WHY does she keep you on the insurance? I know that if you're not on it you do have to surrender your license. My son was lucky, but having a car sitting out in front and all you can do is look at it or sit in it to listen to the radio doesn't cut it.....GOOD LUCK perhaps your mother might have a change of heart soon, or you need to discuss it with her.
