I want to drive so bad but im so scared cuz if my neuropathy is making it hard

[@alexxusbobbitt]

I have neuropathy too, but I just have to be confident about it. I think you start driving soon don’t worry.

[@janinemakey5186]

@@alexxusbobbitt I find it hard to locate the brake pedal at times

[@alexxusbobbitt]

@@janinemakey5186 yea that’s how I feel to but to help with the neuropathy get hard sole shoes they will help it feels like you know how hard your pushing on the gas and it’s more convenient

[@alexxusbobbitt]

And a shoe company I think you should check out is orthofeeth they have some nice shoes and these shoes only help with neuropathy

It's not the gas pedal it's finding the brake after I leave it then there's the anxiety that goes with it
