To drive the car.

[Fed1000]

I have more and more difficulty driving. I feel rigid, insecure, fearful. I tend to avoid roads that are unknown to me, highways and freeways. Are any of you having the same difficulties as me?

[Juliegrace]

Not exactly, but I only drive when I am comfortably “on,” and then only within a 15 mile distance from home.

I've been working on improving my peripheral vision and visual processing skills for a while now and it's definitely improved my confidence on the road. I know that some F1 drivers do this sort of stuff as well. I'm definitely not going to give up driving without throwing everything at it.

Hi Bundoran, what methods are you practicing?

[Bundoran]

Hi Fed1000, I use a program called eyegym. It's South African and its sports based. Recently I'm using BrainHQ.

[Fed1000 in reply to Bundoran]

I use BrainHQ too, I'll take a look at eyegym too. Thank for all.

I stopped driving about 4 months ago. My reflexes are still quite good, but I’ve found I’m too anxious now, particularly when driving freeways. I’m more prone to panic attacks and am just too over-cautious. I’ve always loved to drive, especially road trips, so it’s hard. I’ve driven maybe twice since I made that decision - only on backroads and within 3-5 miles from home, but I feel confident I made the right decision.

Hi Cjbro, your condition is exactly the same as mine. Thanks

I'm thankfully not having any issues- actually I'm driving more alert and confident- probably because I'm anticipating it might get worse..So I'll take it as long as I can..

I felt like that for a few months before I was diagnosed. After I started on C/L and all my supplements, my driving and anxiety are back to normal… for now.

I no longer drive at night, but that's perhaps a common old age thing

At 73; six plus years post dx, just happy to drive locally, no freeways, daytime only. I’m more aware of merges and lane changes, and if there is a choice of route, take the less travelled, less traffic option. Very important, don’t drive during off periods even if it means shifting medication schedule.
