Hoping to get my drivers licemce back!!!! THe Dr that filled out my disability form to keep my disabled status on my licence and my licence plates (Which are permanant) wrote in there that I was unfit to drive...I was like..."huh???" HE said since I couldn't let the nurse finish doing the blood pressure..(It was hurting my arm really bad and she got an innacurate reading) that he was failing me and not anble to drive as the "exam" wasent complete with out the blood pressure reading. He marked the paper "No Driving" I also have had some dizzyness from turning my head too quick and that I had problems with my balance ( That's why I walk with a cane, and the vagal nerve dizzyness is in all the women in my family) but I have NEVER had an accident in the 37 years of driving (Two accidents I have been in were the other drivers fault.. Both were drunk drivers that hit me!)...He then told me that I was unfit to drive and I had to see a Neurologist (No referral from him!) to have them deem me fit for driving and free from the dizzyness and the neck pain from the fibromyalgia!!! AAAGGGHHHH!! I AM sooooooo mad....Thank GOD that my youngest just got her drivers licence and can drive me when she is h ome from school.......I havent been able to find a Neurologist that will take me as I am on public aid...and a lot here in Illinois wont take me or don't take a self pay, insurance only.

Oh that's terrible! You go for help and you get a slap in the face! Being without a DL is a handicap on top of your handicap!

Ugh! That really stinks! I hate how we are at the mercy of doctors just too much in life.

Leda: Grats on the being excused from jury duty. Sorry about the failed inspection. I hope it's a simple repair or adjustment to pass your inspection.
Daystar: That just plain sucks! Are you sire that the nurse wasn't being too rough with you? Fortunately, you have your youngest who can drive you around.

Good luck on that final Cal! My jeep failed for emissions, parking brake and the horn. Funny with the horn, I just replaced it and suddenly it didn't work! It worked on the way there and right afterward in the parking lot! Crazy! Yeah all those things are minor repairs, but the big issue is my trans.... its slipping badly. Hope I don't have to replace it!

No the nurse wasent being rough (Which some have been to me) and she tried to get it but hse couldn't get it to read the pressure as the cuff wasent inflated enough..my arm had begun to turn purple as it was so tight....My arm tenses up when I feel pain and she just couldn't get an accurate reading.... I DID finally get a Neurol;logisat tho and they will be reading all my records inthe next week and setting me up for an appointment and some tests..... Please if you can some prayers will be appreciated!!! Diana/Daystar

Hope I don't have to replace it! I hope you can get it up to scoring what you need to pass the test!! And replacing a transmission is a pain in the butt and the wallet.... I pray you will get both fixed and glad you don't have to have Jury duty. Diana/Daystar

Grats Daystar! I hope the Neurologist changes the other doctor's decision and you can get your license reinstated.

Me too!!! I can only hope that the Dr. will be compassionate....the nurses have said they are concerned more with the pain and numbness in my back more than the dizzyness....the Dr has suggested I have some tests for a possible disc degeneration just from the symptoms I have told him..I pray I don't have to have surgery....

Turns out my trans is leaking fluid. I had almost none, that's why the gears were slipping. Still need to get it fixed but at least it's better than having to replace my transmission!!! Whew!

Wow! I guess you got lucky. A bottle of transmission fluid is much cheaper than a new tranyy, eh?
