MS can and does cause, in some, a form of dementia. Some of our minds are
not as quick thinking or reacting as before Ms, age or both.

I was driving fine, no problems, for 30 some years, after MS SX started. It was
in my late 50s/early 60s when I started noticing my weaknesses and my lack
of immediate reaction to normal driving situations.

Then I started driving only to and from the grocery or the Doc's/Dentist's office,
a friend who lived close....etc. No HWY or long distance driving.

In 2006 the renewal of my license was due and I hadn't driven since DH passed
in 2004. I debated with myself whether or not to renew. I believe I even
discussed it here or BT. I simply let my License lapse. It was the best
decision for me, at the time, to make.

I cannot tell anyone else when that will be the right thing for them to do.
We are all different and progressing with a different type of MS and at a
different speed. You will know when!!!
