Funny turn , results, well sort of!!!

Hi

Hope you are all as well as can be. Dr doesn't know what's caused it so they are sticking with acute confusional state for the name, just don't know how it's caused!! Xxxx

Sounds like Encephalopathy. Search here for more.

Can be very confusing and you may not remember the details yourself.

Lactose plus Rifaxamin is the normal treatment

They take your driving licence away if they suspect HE.

Hi how's everyone doing

I haven't driven for years cos of my meds and lack of sleep,then when I wanted to renew my license to have photo id, I explained to them about not driving cos if meds and also lack of sleep, they asked me to send it back and said I could have another one if I became well again. Take care Lynne

[Jackinthebox]

thank you...that's interesting. My husbands consultant appears to be of the opinion that the DVLA should change their rules and take away the licence for mild HE, which she has done with him. It has devastated our lives and whilst 3 months ago he had been a busy interested person with hobbies, who was not quite as well as he would have liked, he has become a housebound isolated, disinterested at having lost his independence and I am furiously angry that we were not allowed to manage his health towards driving. I drive, but he enjoyed doing the local stuff and chatting to people. I am pleased you have got your licence back. Enjoy JX

I haven't got mine back, can't have it for a long time !! Take care xxxx

I'm the fool that lost licence 15 yrs ago and refused to drive again but could not drive as of blackouts and meningoma in head .

[Fastkat]

I stopped driving fairly early on because I didn’t recognise roads or junctions I’d driven a thousand times before. Tough decision as I’m a car lover but I couldn’t live with myself if I caused an accident because I couldn’t comprehend something.

Had to give up motorcycling as well ☹️

[Faithfull in reply to Fastkat]

I've had to give up peddle bike as well me hip ain't right two yrs after replacement !thought I'd try make u laugh but it's true .

I haven’t driven for over 2 years because of HE and not feeling well enough to drive. I am lucky in the sense I can still get about though through public transport. I get the bus wherever I need to go. If you have a condition that stops you from driving you can find out about a disability bus pass. I also use the money I save on petrol to pay for a taxi when I’m unwell or need to get somewhere that you can’t reach by public transport. It is hard at first when you can’t drive but you do get used to it.

[Hidden in reply to Smyally]

Yes, that's very true. Thank you. Xxxx
