To the list,
I still drive--20 miles max. never on long trips. My husband and my
girlfriend
drive me other places or I don't go. I am taking only Mirapex and
have not
had sleep attacks (doesn't everyone fall asleep watching TV?) but
don't
want to take chances with my life or the lives of other people.

Driving and PD is a very touchy subject, involving as it does a PWP s
ability to get around and his independence. General rules of thumb:
A PWP or any chronic disease patient is often the worst judge of his
symptoms;
When your family - won t get in the car when you re driving, it s time to
stop driving;
Yes, you lose your independence, but are you prepared to have others pay
the price of injury, maiming, death or property damage as the cost of
that independence?
