It depends on what state you live in. I have Partial Onset TLE and have had numerous seizures in the past 2 months. I live in Arizona and there are no reporting requirements to DMV. In some states there are and you have to be seizure free for a certain period of time before you can drive again. Out here it is 3 months but it is on the honesty system.

If you lose your license due to your epilepsy and you have a car, maybe you can work out arrangements for a person to drive you where you need to go in exchange for the usage of your car. This could look really good to a person who needs a car, can't afford one, and if public transportation is stinky like it is in my town. Of course, you would have to select a trustworthy person. It might help to put expectations in writing. Only a couple of months ago I had to walk around central Mississippi in the heat with kids and pregnant because I had no vehicle. This arrangement would have looked SUPER to me. I would have driven you to the moon if asked.
Considering how bad the economy is you should be able to find people to carpool/give gas money to. You probably just have to keep looking. Not having your license isn't great, but it can probably be less of a pain if you keep being creative.
