Muscular dystrophy...will they take away my license?

I was recently diagnosed with adult onset muscular dystophy affecting both lower and upper body/neck.(diagnosis is not 100 percent yet, just waiting for confirmation, but I failed certain tests and doctor told me I have a muscle disease, just not 100 percent on the type of ms...there's a lot of different types) I've been having problems for a while and only drive part time less than 15 hours a week with very short local trips with an automatic transmission and I can go at my own pace(not rushing/can take breaks and lie down). My body could never handle long drives due to pain and having my feet pushing pedals constantly. Can't do heavy lifting/can't stand for long periods of time/can't walk for long distances/have trouble with stocking shelves/overhead arms moveming ect. and I'm very young. This has been going on for years and gotten worse.

So I'm wondering, next time I go to dr for physical in a few months, will they pull my license with a diagnosis of that? Will I be able to pass the medical?


It says in the dot literature
"Has no established medical history of rheumatic, arthritic, muscular, neuromuscular, or vascular disease which interferes with ability to control and operate a commercial motor vehicle safely""

So is it basically up to the doctor to decide if I'm fit? For example, I can stand up and sit down and raise my arms above my head if he asks. It's more a muscle pain from repeated movements and weakness disease. I appear pretty normal. I can walk and everything. Lift my arms up ect.

Or does he see that disease I have and it's automatic fail?

Thanks for the help guys!

 

Oh ok. thanks for the replies. Yeah my doctor doesn't think I have the terminal kind. I hope she's right. Some of them effect the involuntary /breathing/swallowing muscle function and sudden cardiac death as well, thus the early death. Sorry about your friend. Normal lifespan for the type she thinks I have. Well, I have to wait for final diagnosis then I'm going to to try to get disability. Heard it's a nightmare to get and they deny you unless you're in a wheel chair or blind. But we'll see. My dr never told me that. It's just from what I've heard from other people who have dealt with different conditions. I will try and contact dmv, but I think I'm just going to get somebody that will read me what I copy and pasted and tell me to just go to a doctor.
