Legal Question in Traffic Law in Illinois

Seizures, Suspensions, and Statues of Limitations
When I tried to renew my license in the early 90s in my
home state (VA) I naively reported �seizures� because I
did have a couple in my late teens (1988 or so). Got into
an argument with the guy at the DMV, and he
suspended my license until I got a clean bill from a
doctor AND a psychiatrist (!?). I didn�t have either�no
health insurance or money at the time. I�ve lived in IL for
12 years and have not had a license all this time
(haven�t really needed to drive, believe it or not�huge
plus of big city life). I saw a doctor a little later and he
said his best guess was hypoglycemia and he told me
to eat better! Other than that�which he wasn�t even
sure of--there was nothing wrong with me. I have not
had a blackout or seizure or faint since Reagan was in
office!

What should I do? Is there a statute of limitations?
Apply for a license in IL as if it�s the first time, or do I
have to go back to VA to straighten out the mess
somehow? And what was that �psychiatrist� thing
about? Please help, I really want to drive again
someday! (For what it�s worth, my record was
spotless.)
