Has anyone gotten the ok from a doctor to drive again? My issue is I’m stuck living with my mother again. I’m stuck at a minimum paying job making less than 400 a week. Where I live this is far from enough money to do anything. I have kids and between food and bills, my check is gone within 3-4 days. I have to take a e-bike to work because my mother also works. I am grateful the job is less than a 10 minute bike ride but if I want to make more money I need to be able to drive. If I want to be able to date or simply have a life again I need to be able to drive, so I’m curious if anyone has been seizure free and has gotten the ok to drive. What were the meds that worked? Were your seizure just focal or more?

So I know I have an addiction. Currently the power has gone out due to a storm. Meaning no wifi and bad cell service. I usually do it every night. I have even tried to let some short videos load and when it didn’t I felt like I wasn’t gonna be able to sleep. I’m currently at someone else’s house because it was just too hot to stay at my own. It’s been about 3 days and I know I’m going to do it again the second wifi comes back. I usually do it when I go to bed and I’m there for hours. I don’t even have to be fully erect. Sometimes I do it after work and then nap to.. recover? The problem is I want to stop and I can stop during the day but when bed time hits. I cave even if I can fall asleep without doing it I end up waking up during the night and end up caving. The problem is I’d like to quit. I’d like to be able to date and have a real connection with someone again, not just have a relationship based on sex. I know if I can break this habit I’d be able to start recovering. So if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get past it during the night, I’d love to hear them.

What meds have been successful for any of you for focal awareness seizures? I have been using OXcarbazepine and I still have them. Some times randomly but I do have a cluster every month and a half to two months. Just wondering if changing my meds would be worth it

I have tried multiple times to quit. I wish I could say stress has brought me back every time but i have vaped doing everything, while working, cooking, watching tv/phone, playing the game, cleaning etc. I have tried mints or candy but maybe I’m doing it wrong. I really want to quit but the addiction or just the habit gets the best of me every time. So does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
