Sensory Issues While Driving

[Guest guest]

I took my first long distance drive since 2001, the year I developed

symptoms. I drove from Roanoke, Virginia to Chicago and back. I used to

make the 700+ mile drive in one day, but my ever vigilant and

ever supportive wife made me stop about halfway for the night. As

usual, a good idea!

On the second day of the return trip, I started having a weird sensual

issue -- I had difficulty knowing if my right foot was on the brake or

the accelerator. Being macho about it I just furtively glanced down to

make sure my foot was where I thought it was.

After being home for two days I mentioned the problem to my wife (she

wasn't very happy about my macho feelings) in a conversation about

installing hand controls.

I haven't had the problem in the week following, and wonder if the

sensory issue was due to fatigue.

Has anyone has a similar incident while driving? If so, was the issue

fatigue related?

Thanks.
