Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Just a little anecdote here... Back in the " old days " doctors did not tell us not to drive. I drove for all 10 weeks that I was off meds. Today, I shudder to think of the danger I put myself and my children in. During the 10th and final week of my hypo I had to meet my husband and a friend at a restaurant. As I set out to drive there a major thunderstorm broke out,at least I thought it was major. It was a terrifying drive for me. So bad that I vividly remember it to this day. Taking all the hypo symptoms into consideration it was probably the worst set of circumstances I could have been in (other than being HYPO!) When I told my husband what a terrible drive it had been he sorts shrugged his shoulders and said, " Gail, it was a 5 minute cloud burst! " Five minutes my eye....it seemed like it went on for hours. That's what hypo does to you behind a wheel. Gail dx: 1968, TT, pap. & foll. well differentiated w/hurthle cell, RAI, rad.neck dissection,lung surgery, hashimoto, tg antibody 575, iodine resistant,existing thyca nodules in lungs.
