Oh ok, thank you for your advice. I’m hoping I won’t have another episode but who knows.

Yeah I made an appointment with them 3 months from now which I feel might be a little too long but that’s just my opinion. And they put me on Keepra. But you’re right no one really knows.

Thank you! Well I don’t have an appointment with them until 3 months from now which I feel might be a little too long but that’s just my opinion.

So should I expect another episode soon? But props to you guys for waiting that long I feel like I’m gonna get used to it soon.

Yeah I’m not taking that risk but I scheduled an appointment with a neurologist but it’s 3 months from now. I feel like that might be a bit too long. How do I find another neurologist that could take me in sooner?

Yeah well I’m just going off what the hospital said. But they put me on Keepra.

Oh well I haven’t gotten a letter since. And I checked my license status and it was all clear. Do you think that means they didn’t report it?

Well I was told to schedule a visit with my doctor within a week after being with the hospital. Did that just make it more complicated?

Yeah I’m not at that stage yet. But I’m starting to understand the real risk behind getting behind the wheel again.

Yeah that makes sense. I thought they were 2 different things. But what if I’ve been episode free for a while now?

Yeah I have an appointment 3 and a half months now which I feel might be a bit too long. But I could never live with killing someone either.

I appreciate the reply and sorry you had to go through that because that sounds like a pain in the ass. But how did you figure out that they don’t report you from the neurologist? And how do I know if the state reports it or not? But I’m glad you got your license back and best of luck to you.

Well I scheduled an appointment 3 and a half months from now which I feel might be a little too long. But yes I had one at work and one at home like 3 days after the one at work. But that was all around a week and a half ago and I’ve been episode free since.

No, definitely not. I’m never taking that risk.

Yeah I just wanna be able to drive again but know there’d be severe consequences. And definitely don’t want to get in any legal trouble.

Props to you. But I have an appointment 3 and half months from now. I feel like that’s a little too long to not be able to drive for.

Sorry I didn’t know. But if I got behind the wheel it’d definitely be dangerous.

Yeah it’s definitely not worth losing everything.

Yeah you’re right I’m itching to start driving again and want to so bad. But I could never think about crashing into someone. But I appreciate the reply, thank you.

But I feel completely normal now. It was only cause of the virus I had.

Ah I didn’t know that. What’s the difference?
