My Dr won't let me drive. Its really hard to depend on others. I feel I am able to drive on good days. This makes me very depressed.

I quit driving when I found out that I have PD. I runs in my family. In the past I’found out it pays to be safe. But as I often said, let the Lord tell you what to do. He has never turned His back on me. Sometimes the answer seems slow but then there is a reason. Chappy ✡️

I hate that this disease isn't honest enough to kill you; it just takes away everything you once were.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member that's ok Carole he's getting his second wind, enrol him in a school of motor racing course, better to be safe than sorry. It's when he slows down to a stop you have a problem because in that case you're going nowhere. I hope this was helpful 😮😄

A MyParki...

My husband used to do all the driving, with me as passenger most of the time. I noticed that he was having problems maintaining a consistent speed. He'd be either too slow or too fast. He was having a harder time staying in his lane. He didn't think ahead all the time, (i.e. red lights in front mean he needs to slow down), so there was a lot of sudden braking. I think he noticed that his concentration wasn't as focused. He had one accident that totaled the car, and another that was minor, but very expensive. I began to drive more and more and he was mostly happy to hand over the keys. The few times he's driven since (because we needed to drop a vehicle off to get repaired or because I was unable to drive after a medical procedure), he admitted he wasn't really comfortable driving any more.
