Do you drive?

[Luongo]

Pretty straightforward... can you drive? If not, how long after symptoms started did you have to stop? And what were the problems that forced you to stop (weakness in legs to work pedals, concentration issues, etc.)

[SNOOPY]

Yes, I still drive.

[aitch10]

yes

I was DX'd 8.5 years ago and still have no problems driving despite a fair amount of disability.

[GIGI69]

I do

It scare DH to death. He worries that I will be stopped by a cop for some reason and the cop will think I'm drunk. I have a high profile job and if I was arrested it would be a big ordeal in the community.

But....I don't have issues driving just walking.

I still drive a Mazda Miata convertible! ha ha ha It is sometimes hard to get in and out but I do it. I only have a 5 minute drive to work and I refuse to get something else. Will hang on to it as long as I am able!

[Tomjadg]

I do.

Mild numbness in right foot, but I just pivot on heel from gas to brake. No issue with slipping off the brake.

I don't do long distances though.

[audima]

Yes, I drive

I do continue to drive - legs seem to work perfectly normal when I sit although I struggle just to walk around the house.

Yes I still drive. I drive alot.
Covered some 5,000 miles this summer. (my only special reqiurement is the car must have AC.)

Yes I still drive but got different truck no with auto trans as my left leg is the bad one and had to lift my leg up with my hand to get it back on the clutch pedal which was little scary in traffic. Just did about 800 miles over the past week to go to my moms birthday party no problem. I also find it is easier for me to get in and out of trucks and suv/van type vehicles,some cars are very low and I get kinda stuck trying to get out of them, with the higher ones I can just sorta slide out of them.

I do drive, though right now, I haven't driven in a week because I had cataract surgery last Thursday and my eyes aren't working together too well. I'm going to try it either tomorrow or Friday on a back road and see how it goes. (My eyes better straighten out soon. I have to go back to work Monday!)

Normally, I have no problems driving, though I have had times when I had to look close to determine if traffic lights are red or orange, and a few years ago, I forgot how to drive. (Yeah, I know. That was pretty weird!)

I still drive but not very often these days.

I am PPMS and confined to a wheelchair. Fortunately, the disability is confined to the left side. Never have used my left foot to drive and the left arm is still with enough function to help out. I think I scare people when they see me getting in the drivers seat after seeing what it takes to just get in the car.

I still drive but not as much. As long as I'm not too fatigued I can drive. I have extreme weakness in my legs when I walk but can manage well when driving. In the spring I drove 180 miles round trip. Couldn't drive anymore for the rest of the week.So I stay close to home within 10 miles.

[Blessings2You]

Diagnosed 6 years ago, and yes, I still drive. As someone else mentioned, a/c is a given. I don't drive at night because of fatigue, and I avoid some high traffic areas because they make me feel anxious.

[kmallory1]

I drive with hand controls. I just can't get in and out of the car!
Seriously, it takes me a while, but I can do it.

[Thinkimjob]

Yes, why walk when you can drive.
