Driving

Does anyone else hate driving, do you get increased pain from being in the driver seat too long, does concentration for longer periods while driving affect your pain, like I can drive if I have to if it's an emergency or there's no other option but if it's further than I'm comfortable with I start panicking thinking about the drive especially if I don't know the route, as don't know where rest areas are, the thought of being stuck in traffic and adding time into journey, or being so many miles from home and getting sudden onset of pain and still having to drive the rest of the way.

Does anyone else prefer slower speed roads in towns at like 30 or 40mph Instead of dual carriageways and motorways at 70mph because concentration at the lower speeds is easier than on the faster roads and it doesn't cause as much of a knock on effect with pain. I don't mind short journeys around town that I'm comfortable with, that I know very well but longer trips I'm not as comfortable with I really dislike.

I usually take CBD for pain relief and although I can legally drive while taking it as it doesn't effect your brain, it gets me too relaxed and fatigued and makes concentrating harder so I tend to not have any on days when I have to drive. Just wanted to know that I'm not the only one, I might be having to drive a journey of 115 mile each way in a few days and I'm dreading it, feel bad saying no and don't know how to make it better - yes I always take breaks while driving to split the journey up and rest but knowing there's still X many miles left to do that day makes relaxing difficult, as my brain just overthinks things and I can't fully relax until get home.
