Tomorrow I have a phone interview for disability. I hate that I am at this point, but I guess we all need to do stuff we find hard or really don't want to do from time to time. The interview is over the [phone and is at 9 am. Then I have to meet with my maternal health nurse at 1:45 and after that I have to go get some stuff. Gonna be a long day. But I had a question: if they don't believe my seizures are epileptic why is it I am not allowed to drive? I don't get that at all. It really sucks not being able to drive especially at this time of year so I get to walk everywhere I need to go tomorrow >.>
 
Good luck with all of your appointments. I had to walk to/from my dentist appointment after work today. Seemed like a twice the punishment in the deep-freeze that we're getting.
 
I think the reason they are not allowing you to drive is because they would still be dangerous to have when you are driving. I've seen the descriptiosn you have posted of your seizures and whether they are PNES, or epileptic, or from any other cause, they are still causing a loss of control and would endanger yourself and others on the road.
 
I suppose looking at it that way it makes sense. I am always confused with the back and forth of my doctor. And yea I have to walk to the early head start then to the community health center and back home. I am gonna be a popsicle by the time I get home lol. Just hoping it doesn't make my ear infection and cold worse.
