@jakedduck1 If you haven't had a seizure in 7 or 8 years why did they suddenly take your license?

You have an interesting statistic there about HE episodes. I never heard that, I just knew that not everyone gets them. I really hated them so much. After each I was so depressed because losing control is not something that is easy for me. I would think that when I felt one coming on if I just was determined enough I would be able to prevent it but of course that was not to be. I have not heard of Non Convulsive Status Epilepticus, I need to google that.
Thanks for being glad I made it, I sure am too.

Like Linda @lioness mentioned, at least in California doctors are required to report any loss of consciousness to the Motor Vehicle Dept., suspensions are nearly automatic. The DMV sends a 1 page questionnaire I have to answer and 5-6 pages for the doctor. Depending on how the doctor answers the questions and the DMV employee reviewing my case, they can reverse the suspension without a hearing, fingers crossed.
I find it funny, although confusing they say they have to maintain safety for the motoring public. Interesting they aren’t concerned about the safety of the motoring public for the few weeks it takes them to suspend my license. Trying to figure out reasoning by a gov’t agency is something I’m glad I don’t understand.
