Hi,
just an idea, but have you checked the ventilation of your car. Perhaps
there are gas or fumes getting in / or not enough fresh air. You could
check this by driving with the windows open. Does anyone else have this
problem driving your car? Do you get this when you are passenger in your
car as well as driver? Try adjusting the temperature? I put music on
loud and sing along with it when I am sleepy and driving.

I used to think it was because that was how my parents would put me to sleep at night was by driving around until I fell asleep. I'm on 1500mg. Glucophage XR, 2400mg. Ibuprofen, and 20mg. Oxycotin. I may have Endometriosis beside the PCOS and IR diabetes. Contact me anytime @ rumnigurl28@hotmail.com
