Re: [Peripheral_Neuropathy] Neuropathy Affecting Your Driving?

hi lynda,  i understand exactly what you mean.  my neurologist has reported me to the dmv as not safe to drive.  i am only 52 so losing thsi kind of independence is difficult.  but the thought of possibly hurting someone makes me understand the need.
its a very strange feeling , HA HA, not feeling your feet. sorry sometimes i just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all.  i had an EMG about a year ago.  i kept waiting for the test to start, i knew it could hurt so i was prepared.  i never felt anything. not good.
i'm not sure what to say except i know exactly what you are saying. ask your neurologist if he thinks you are safe to drive.  but if you don't feel safe , you probably are not.   
is anyone else hqving this symptom?>  and if so how are you dealing with it?
take care,  julianne

Has anyone had the experience of having your neuropathy interfere with
your driving -- like not feeling secure with the pedals, not sure of
placement of your feet?  I think I have to discontinue driving because
of this.  It's gotten worse in the last week.

For 3 years I had to use Neurontin to calm the leg pains down enough to concentrate on driving home on the freeway from my work. Some times I'd have to get off...
