@Helinda, transient ischemic attack.

"What is transient ischemic attack (TIA)? A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a stroke that lasts only a few minutes. It occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is briefly interrupted. TIA symptoms, which usually occur suddenly, are similar to those of stroke but do not last as long."

"Seizures can occur early or late after an ischemic stroke. While approximately 3 to 5 percent of strokes are associated with a late seizure within the first year, up to 66% of these patients will develop epilepsy."

The license was revoked due to potential blackouts. It's often difficult to recognize a TIA symptom because of the similarity to focal seizures. It's dangerous to drive with either condition until it's controlled.

One thing about not driving can save you money. My last car was a $2,000 Canadian junk car and I was billed $2,000 yearly for basic insurance here in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Back then I did not have seizures, so I had to get a better cheap junk car.

What is a TIA?

Yes. Saving money

That’s true, plus I don’t have to worry about the price of gas. I’ve had seizures ever since I was 10 years old.
