Hello @sophia86 -- Welcome to Connect. Not being able to drive was one of my biggest fears also. I've had small fiber peripheral neuropathy for 20+ years with only the numbness and no pain in my feet and ankles. Learning as much as you can about your health problems and becoming an advocate for yourself is a great first step.

I'm tagging @steeldove who has talked about Kempf electronic hand controls for cars to help handicapped drivers who may have some experience to share with you. More on the hand controls can be found on their website at http://www.kempf-usa.com/.

@sophia86 can you share a little more about your diagnosis and any treatments you have tried?

Sophia86, I hate to sound so negative, but I've never heard of anyone recovering from the nerve damage of neuropathy, especially when you've had it for so long. When I lost feeling in both legs and feet last year, I had to stop driving, but was determined to find a way to get back to driving. My answer is the Kempf electronic hand controls that I had installed on my little Prius C. Since getting back the car with the Kempf equipment in late July, I've driven almost 2,000 miles, including a roundtrip from Springfield, MO, to Rochester, MN. My advice is to get a doctor to prescribe a Driving Evaluation. From there, you decide what will work for you. I found that the mechanical equipment I tried was not the answer for me, but when I tried the electronic equipment, I found it so intuitive that I was comfortable with it after five minutes. It's expensive, but so very worth it. The photo shows the new equipment on my car. Incidentally, I'm 80 years old.
