Will my son be able to have a drivers license? Do they take it away just because of your diagnosis?

I have narc and still have a DL with no restrictions, as long as I take my meds. I was really worried about this one too before my diagnosis. I think it depends on your state and the doc. I live in CO and docs do not even need to report it to the DMV here, but I hear in other states its another story.

Some states do require it to be reported to the DMV I am not sure of which ones. I havent been reported as of yet. I choose not to drive and havent since Jan of last year because I do fall asleep randomly whether it be on the couch or on the floor. Its just not safe for me or others around me right now.
I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.

"Just because we have the right to disagree with a person, does NOT give us the right to disrespect that person."

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey
