Anyone can't drive because of Epilepsy
Thu, 08/03/2006 - 21:02Topic: Teen Zone
Hi Everyone my name is Gina and I am 16 years old. I have had epilepsy since I was 8 mounths old. I had surgery when I was 9 years old back in 3rd grade.
It was very scary at the time. Know my seizures are way better like I only have parcial complex right know. they don't bother me pritty much at all except for one reason DRIVING
I can't drive and where i live they only have the city busses so right know since I can't drive I kind of feel out numbered. Does anyone feel like me. If there are any special ways to get around tell me if you know.
Just right know since everyone I pritty much know is getting their licens I just wonder if anyone else feels the same way as me. You could talk to me when ever you want

hey haley just wanted to let you know your post made sense. Also that you have deffenetley over come some obstacles. That's neat you have a guide dog I know they have seizure dogs for people that are able to use them. I have horses if I don't feel like flopping around like a fish lol I just go riding. Oh and don't feel bad at least I'm not a little two year old not understanding why this or that is happening to him or her. We've got to pray for the tiny ones...I think they need it the most. Meg
