Driving
Has MS messed up anybody else’s ability to drive or is it just me? I got diagnosed in October and ever since my equilibrium seems to be what everybody tells me was affected.

Not just you. I gave up driving because of MS. Didn't feel confident that my legs or feet would be good after a reasonable journey, and couldn't live with the guilt if something bad had happened. So I sold my car and hung up my licence.
Is a condition ( in the Uk ) that you have to report to the DVLA so they can ( with neuro reports ect assess your ability to continue driving. First time my license was valid for 3yrs, last renewal it was valid for 5 yrs before reapplying. You also ( in the UK) are required to inform your car insurance company.
