Thank you for the info.
It’s so weird that they can’t figure out what causes the seizures. I had all the tests and nothing showed up. I have had all my records sent to Mayo for review. Since I have had 2 open heart surgeries there in Rochester, I am praying to get an appointment with a neurologist soon
Were you allowed to drive?

Doctors do the tests to rule out the obvious things like a brain tumor, stroke, meningitis, bleeding on the brain etc. Those are the easy things and then they treat for that. Once all those tests are negative, science at this time has no clue as to what starts or causes seizures. Like I said in an earlier post, all they do then is throw some pills at you and hope something sticks. Again, not very reassuring. And yes, I have been driving with no issues, thank God!
God Bless
