I would like to know if there is anyone out there that has given up driving due to arthritis and fibro in the shoulders and fibro in the wrists and forearms. I did.

I've been thinking about just getting behind the wheel and driving a little bit at a time, but my friends suggested I get checked out first. Bright Eyes |
