Driving - Travel - How do you manage?
How do you manage daily life regarding driving? My radius is approximately 5 miles, and that is after a nap and with medications. How do people with narcolepsy manage to get places safely?
make somebody drive me or have somebody with me at all times just in case I do have a spell
Ì do not agree with most PWN driving. I believe it's a tragedy waiting to happen. My N was well controlled for quite sometime. I could always tell when a sleep attack was going to happen. Overnight I started just going out, it can happen fast.
It sure can. Have you stopped driving? If so, do you have public transportation or other ways to get where you need/want to go? Best wishes. - Lori Foster (Team Member)
I gave up my license. I don't want to hurt anyone.
At this time I rely on my husband for rides. I have no social life to speak of so it works for us. Thank you for asking Adding a bunch of gentle hugs to those warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
I frequently drive 2 hours to visit my parents. I take the route that has several small towns, in case I get sleepy. I also pack snacks and several drinks for the road, water, soda and an energy drink. Starbucks helps too 😁.
That sounds like a good strategy, especially the Starbuck part! 😀 - Lori (Team Member)
