[QUOTE="ElleDee, post: 400918, member: 46750"] I think many people will have differing views on a subject such as this, however as a driver and sufferer, and having gone through almost all of the same prescription meds as Sid . . . . . . I must say this: I fully appreciate that driving is not seen as a right but as more of a privilege, but people who suffer do have a right to be able to enjoy these privileges in the same way that a non-prescription taking individual would. It is exactly that though, INDIVIDUAL, and each person is different, some take and deal with their meds well, others don't and to tar all with the same brush is wrong. I have times when I really can't drive, so I have to sit for a wee while until I feel ok then make the journey to work. For me my work is a lifeline. I suffer on a day basis and if I was to list it all you would be forgiven for thinking I was a 90 odd who had a hard life . . . . . I'm only 30 and try very hard every day to get up and out and live as normal as I can, my car and my licence afford me that luxury, to lose it would be a disaster for me. I cannot walk, even if I wanted to and live too rural to rely on public transport so the thought that for the sheer amount of meds I take, if I got stopped I would be more than likely arrested is scary to say the least :-( [/QUOTE]
