hi there
I have been driving around for years with numb feet, and it really hasn't been a problem. I still knew where to put my feet, and how to apply or decrease pressure on the pedals to make the car go or stop.
Really not a problem.
Lately I am 'forgetting' where the pedals are in relation to each other. So moving my foot over from the accelerator to the brake is a bit of a mystery as I am not exactly sure where the brake is. Once I have done is successfully once then it is ok for the rest of the trip. So I make sure the once happens imediately when I start driving very very slowly (usually happens naturally as I manoever out of a park, or back out of the drive then brake so I can head off in the right direction).
It is really really weird. I have started googling 'hand controls' for cars, as it does seem like this may become necessary if this is going to be a permanent feature. It is just all this stupid damage I have in my CNS. This is definitely a positional thing, rather than a nerve function thing, and is really getting to be a nuisance.
Well, I guess I am just moaning some more - heck, if I had a million (why settle for a dollar!) for everytime I moaned lately I'd be a billionaire by now.
Going in for more rituxan, steroid pulse plus cytoxan next week - oh joy
cheers
