I also understand how you feel. I just got diagnosed this past Christmas, at the age of 25. My doctor tried me on medication first before taking my license. I think he did this because it was being misdiagnosed for so long and I had been driving. HOwever, that medication wasn't working so 2 weeks ago I also lost my license which is especially tough because driving is part of my job. I don't even know if I will get to keep my job. It is annoying to have to explain why you aren't driving. And if you don't explain people do assume DUI.

The Orlando metro area has a bus system... and I found they have something for the disabled and its only $18/month. Cheaper than gas lol.

It is annoying, in Jan I too had a relapse at work and lost my license also. It is really hard especially when everyone assumes you can't drive because of a DUI or something.
