None of us can diagnose on a forum and none of us should try really.

where has anybody diagnosed anything we're only talking about our own circumstances and how it affects each individual.

Yes and Steve hasn't been diagnosed yet or given advice by doctors - so we can't say whether he should drive or not ..

Well telling anyone they are not fit to drive seems to be diagnosing to me. Steve needs to see his specialist to say that unless he feels unable to drive of course.

I did not tell him not to drive I couldn't give a monkeys whether he drives or not, but I do care about the other drivers and pedestrians he is endangering don't forget it could be a member of your family who is involved in an accident with a driver who is not 100% fit to drive.

Sorry to hear you suffer from Menier's . A hellish complaint. I've had Labyrinthis a few times and that was bad enough. The room was spinning even when I lay down and I felt so sick. It's so debilitating.

It may be wise 'not' to drive - until he is diagnosed ...........

I doubt very much that Steve would be up to driving if he felt that bad?

Re: Just when I thought that was it.........

Well it's easy saying don't drive personally I trust each member of the over fifties forum to make their own decisions on that. TBH if some of us stopped we would be unable to work or get to the hospital or many other things.
