Welcome and what you said was just fine. Sadly, it's a big club but it's also sad to admit others who are afflicted with this horror.

Stick around and look us over. You'll find some good ideas and tons of support.

Hey Trucker my hubby is a trucker too and there is no need to say that your job is lost... are you chronic or eposodic... I think the hours you keep on your jobs also contributes to the attacks... keep in touch... welcome... ree

Bullshit, Linda! Don't start in with a newbie, by lying to him! Tell him the truth, we are a bunch of nosey bastards! heehee!!

Seriously, Kytrucker, let us know how your hits develope and the drugs or methods you use to deal with them. We might have some other suggestions, or you may have one that we have not tried.

This is how this site works. We share information and offer support whenever it is needed.

We also have fun harrassing each other, and there are sometimes some knock down drag out fights here too. All typical in a caring family, and that is what we are. Like it or not, Bro, you are now family! And family CARES!

Hi there kytruker - welcome aboard!

Gotta tell you there's no way your driving career has to be over. I've been driving 40 years (mostly on than off) and a ch'er for 23 years.
Was on long haul till my hearing got bad and then went to line haul. Then the past 4 years did an old lady's candy ass run with extended length 2 hours each way at night.

The only thing ch has stopped me from doing is getting my pilot's license back - there's just is no place up there to pull over till it's finished.

So keep your chin up there guy and don't let the beast win. Try the different meds till you get something that works for you. No load is ever so hot that it doesn't cool down pretty quick lying on it's side, and good drivers are few and far between.

Keep the rubber side down, ok?
