I decided not to drive when I began to have vertigo episodes out of the blue without enough warning to be able to pull off the road safely. From February to the end of May I didn't drive at all because of an intense flare-up. My rule for resuming driving was to go for a week without a vertigo episode. Yesterday I met that criterion and drove to the grocery store. My aunt's memorial service is this week, in a city about 3 hours away. I don't think I will attempt that trip, but feel very torn about it.
