@tatiana987, for many people being able to drive equals independence and free will. Having your driver's license suspended is a huge adjustment, even if it is temporary. It sounds like you would like to appeal the medical assessment made by the neurologist.

Each state may handle these situations differently. You can find out more about possible next steps in your state, by searching here: https://www.epilepsy.com/lifestyle/driving-and-transportation/laws

I know this is frustrating and you feel unheard and unseen. Consider getting a second opinion. Your medical issue is important. Take care of that first. Please do not drive without a license. That will compound the issue. Hopefully you have family or friends to help with transportation until you can get this straigthened out.

Thank-you for responding.

I live in Reno, Nevada, which has a completely broken medical system. I absolutely agree that I need a second medical opinion. That appointment will take 6 to15 months.

Only people who have to ask kind friends or relatives for help understand how damaging the stupidity of this doctor is. And even with the best possible friend helping you, your freedom is gone.

The stress, the fear, the certainty that they can kill you if they choose is overwhelming. They are not at all moral. They do a lot of harm, when they vowed to do no harm.
