Were they hard to get used to? My neurologist and PCP have both recommended that I look into hand controls but I have been worried that I wouldn't be able to learn how to use them. Also my hands are affected, not as much as my feet and legs, I have no sensation at all up to my knees and am losing muscle strength in my feet and legs; but I do have reduced strength and feeling in my hands, so I wasn't sure if it was worthwhile, since it may only be for a relatively short time.
I drive by keeping a close eye on the speedometer, as I cannot feel the pedal, also I have to be very careful what shoes I wear as some do not fit or slip off. I can only drive for about 15 minutes before I start having muscle spasms in my right foot and calf, and severe back pain. I expect that I will be giving up driving altogether in the next few years, but I find discussions like this one interesting. I am 49. |
