Do you know why they took your license off you? I thought I’d lose mine as I’m on opiates, but two renewals lasting three years each, I’ve now been issued with a five year license… My neurologist and I had a conversation wherein I agreed to be sensible and not drive unless I know I’m capable and my symptoms allow it and he signed me fit. Could you not speak to your Neuro and find out why you shouldn’t be driving? Someone has to have a reason. Good luck Cath ---

Hi Hjb My neurologist recommends that we all take 10,000iu Vitamin D3 daily but I’ve had to stop taking it as it adversely affects another health problem I have and causes severe pain. I do know my vitamin D levels are low, and apparently this is common in people with ms. I will go back on it after my surgery to clear up my other issues. If you’re unsure you can ask your GP tho test your levels and then make an informed decision. Take care Cath ---
