Hi Trevor I also started getting very odd feelings about 6 months ago and have recently had my brain scan and two EEG tests one with no sleep, what fun that was - not! Anyway the long and short of it all last friday my consultant informed me that I was having particial seizures and that I had to stop driving! Wasn't ever warned about the driving thing so was pretty devastated when he told me. Mind you my scan was clear so I supposed I should feel lucky, but to be honest at the moment I just feel like my right arm has been cut off. I have been driving 20 years. He tells me I can try taking Lamotrigine and if I go a whole year without a seizure happening I can apply for my licence. Best Babs
