A couple of weeks ago it was murder for me, so so tired and sluggish that I mostly went out for short times and cooled off, repeat. Slept a lot, but kept drinking water and doing what I could get done. I went into the dollar general and had to have the girl bring me the house wheelchair, because my ...

I can't imagine having both of those at once. I read about Chrohns and it is a terrible disease in itself.

my sympathys are with you, wish I could help.

You'd think getting a wheelchair would be simple, but no way in hell is it. I found one in a thrift store near my town for 20 bucks so I got it, took it home and played around in it for a while. I actually wheeled around great in it, even popped some wheelies, but upon trying to lift it into the car...

P.S. Are there any places that have old, run down sport chairs? I mean something I could fixx up and restore? I am handy that way(fixed up ,many a bicycle) and would be a fun project. A frame and axle to start would be great...I would customize it including paint. here's the chair I am looking at......

No I don't really need one yet or in the foreseeable future, however I have been giving some thought on how one could benefit me in my daily routine. Right now I mostly use a stick, sometimes on a bad day I feel wobbly, I'll get my granny walker out or use the rollator. I am slow on my feet now, I c...

We get "the looks" every time we park in a handicap parking space. My husband is also in his 30's and was just diagnosed about a year ago. He does not use a cane but there are times when walking is just so painful. I want to post a big sign on the back of our car that says "hey just ...

Just what happened a few days ago just....just....works me up sooooo bad that I get mad just thinking of it. How can people be so damn ignorant? Christ I had a stick, I'm walkinmg like I have bricks on my feet...what more do they want me to show I am handi? I really should of stopped and educated t...

Hi Brett. Welcome to TIMS. sorry for the stuff you have to go thru. my partner is the same - most think she is drunk. One of the reasons I started using a stick.... I noticed people not giving a hoot, because they see me being a lil tipsy on my feet as if drunk walking around the store. I thought i...

I'm Brett, 37 and had RRMS for years now. I walk with a stick most every place I go for my own balance and safety. I look very young for my age, most say late twenties. Yesterday I got so mad as I went to the Dollar General I passed some people in a car as I walked slowly to the door with my traditi...
