Hand Controls for driving

Posted by laporta @laporta, 10 hours ago

Has anyone with peripheral neuropathy, CIPD, or anti-MAG begun using auto hand controls, specifically due to numbness in the feet and ankles? If so, was it difficult to obtain authorization from your neurologist or the medical provider? In general, how has your experience been? Thanks.
