About two years ago I started having trouble driving on the freeway. I love to drive so it is not an anxiety thing, although it is scaring me and becoming one. After about 20 mins to a half hour I start to suffer symptons of sleepyness, blurred vision, just plan trouble not nodding off. Sometimes I have trouble looking at the tv without it feeling like a painful strain although I do not have a problem reading books quite often. I have been suffering from low grade head aches and one turned into a devestating migrain where I could not even move. I am 41 and have my surprise baby (my one and only, the biggest shock of my life). I know that that causes fatique but, I feel that I have that under control now. I did get my eyes checked when I was pregnant which I hear is a big no no. I also can't see a damn thing up close. I would love to put a name to my problem so that I may do something about it. Like I said, I LOVE to drive and am feeling a bit trapped without that leasure. HELP I also hope that this is totally irelevant but my father dies of Lou Gerhigs ALS, my brother has Tourettes and many of the men on my father's side passed of MS although time was during the 40's and I am inclinded to believe they actually had ALS as well. I do not feel that this is connection to my problem. I also have to mention that this started about 2 yrs ago after a year of flying alot. Scotland, Ireland, London, I believe 11 flights in all. And lastly the middle of my back is numb and somewhat painful. My DR. ( whom I havent' had a chance to go over this yet because he is new to me) thinks I might have a fracter in my back do to a good amount of tripping and falling down my stairs. Once, I even knocked myself unconsioud upside down. I fall alot do to a severed femoral cutaneous nerve that occured durring a botched surgery. Crap I am only 41 and the Dr.'s consider my hearing poor enough that I am a candidate for hearing aids, and I truly love the tenitous....Not. Well that is alot to swallow but, I think the answers are in there somewher in the small things, not the bigger problems. I think something is being missed because of all my other inperctions. Well I hope you might be able to shine some light on this problem because I need to get on the freeway, I have places to go. Thank you and again I think the answer is somewher in the smaller issues...Heather
