Driving off or dyskinesic
Hi Carolyn,
I'm sure difficult driving conditions can make us more symptomatic but the problems I had and which made driving such a huge dilemna were related to "offs" and dyskinesia.
Before DBS (almost 3 yrs ago) I could go "off" at the drop of a hat.
It became more and more unpredictable and when "on" the dyskinesias were (mostly) just as disabling.
Having 3 children in 3 different schools and living in a semi rural area with limited public transport I would sometimes drive dyskinesic but if I was "off" there was no way I would or for that matter could drive.
Anyway saw your previous post re querying DBS and the above pretty well sums up how life for me was before I had DBS.
Post DBS and since we're discussing driving it's yet another example of one of the many things I can do now anytime without fear of going off or becoming dyskinesic.
Cheers,
Lee
