I think it would be a good idea to track your seizures: how you feel before (any auras or triggers?)...during...and after. Plus the duration of each seizure.
I know this will keep you real busy, since you have so many seizures in a day, but I think it's important that your doc get a better idea of what's going on with you so that together, you can work out a plan. (And it should NOT include driving. Sorry.)
I hope this helps. Best of luck. Phylis Feiner Johnson www.epilepsytalk.com
