I readed an article about driving with fibromyalgia. I recognized myself a lot.
I get arms, back and ribs pain. I have to drive 45 minutes to get to work. Sometimes, I wanna cry.
And the fibro fog is making me forget where I was going or how to get there.
I don't know how long I'll be able to drive.
Are you driving? How is it?

I use to travel a lot and now I'm lucking if a 2 hour drive can be done in 4 hrs. I just got a car with heated seats and it helps a lot but its kind of weird to have the ac on and the heated seats ....but we do what we can right
I drove 300 to 600 miles a day for 9 months, for a home health company. It really did a number on me. If you have to drive long distances, I would take some of those heat patches, a back pillow or neck pillow. It helps some. Good luck.
I still drive mostly short distances. I usually only drive a half an hour away at the furthest.
Yes, it happened to me,'and I hit several cars.! I don't remember anything.
I find myself wandering across the lane lines. My hands become molded around the steering wheel and hurt like crazy after about ten minutes, too. And my arms and shoulders ache. I use a list of where I'm going in order of stops or I use my GPS and program in the whole trip.
