hiddenmuseAs much as I like the idea of having a place I can go to, to discuss living with such a "fun" neurological disorder as epilepsy, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
epileptics is starting to get its share of people that are perpetually wearing Pissy Pants.
Apparently, if you express a dissenting opinion, you get shot down. G*d forbid you should suggest that someone with epilepsy severe enough to merit going on Disability actually consider surrendering their license.
My epilepsy may not be that severe - but it is unpredictable (duh), and I'm not in the right mindset once a seizure happens to think "maybe I should pull the car off the road...", so I voluntarily do not drive. It's just safer that way for all involved.
