Driving

My feet caused me to give up driving. I can't feel them . I discovered this after backing into a tree and not being able to find the brake pedal. I already had bad vision before mg but Lasik surgery improved both

Vertical diplopia while driving was the first symptom. It was transient. With time it appeared sooner and longer, particularly if sleep deprived. A few years ago a new optometrist prescribed prisms when diplopia became a primary complaint.. The new glasses almost totally eliminated diplopia except for when I am exhausted or reading late at night.

I usually don't drive in the afternoons or more than 15-20 minute rides due to blurry or double vision. Won't give up my license unless I have to but I am careful and won't drive if to fatigued. Things can just wait!

When I first started with the double vision, I had no idea it would impact my driving. I got behind the wheel and within 30 seconds, pulled over and let my husband drive. It looked like cars were coming at me in the lane I was in. So scary! i started wearing a patch on the droopy eye and that helped. Once I started taking prednisone and pyridostigmine, my droopy eye and double vision were corrected.
