When my RSD spread I had a lot of issues with dizziness and blurry vision and stuff. I didn't drive for over a year. We tried alot of different things but when I started on clonidine patches that took care of the dizziness and blurry vision...have you tried it? The only issue is that when I am out in the sun/heat too long I get dizzy and the blurry vision returns because the patches will give out more medication in the heat and that's not good. But I am able to drive safely again.
I agree that you should not drive if it is not safe. I didn't for a whole year and I know how much it sucks to be trapped inside the house but you have to do what is right.
The other issues I would look at one at a time. If it's spread then you should try to treat it ASAP because that's your best chance at fending it off. Make sure to keep moving those limbs even if you do it while seated. I had really bad tremors with the spread and still get it from time to time.
But check with your doctor to make sure there is nothing else going on (which also may be treatable) and if there's anything else you can do to help with the symptoms.
