Stop whingeing, it's bad luck that you have had this problem but it is a serious condition.

Just google sleep apnea and road deaths.

Let me see if I've got this right. The OP suffered from falling asleep while driving and went to be treated for this. A doctor in the NHS informed DVLA of his condition as they have just to by law. The OP saw various different doctors and eventually found a cure and is now medically well enough to drive.

He lives in Tennessee but for some obscure reason he wants a British driving license and is throwing a hissy fit because he can't get one without a) living there and b) proving that he is safe to drive.

And all this is the combined fault of DVLA, the EU, and the NHS.

Hmmm.....
... I am allowed to...keep my voter registration current.
How's that relevant to a driving licence?

How do you know?

I'm sensing a pattern here. And it's not looking a very nice one.
