Walking

[Guest guest]

I have a lot of trouble walking now a days, Drs. getting me a power

wheelchair as hands and arms are in pain Been using a regular

wheelchair for 4 months now off an on, mostly on now. Are there other

FMer's out there in chairs? Don't know anyone else other than this

group, and my depression is so bad I feel like this is the end of a

normal life. Any suggestions? How do you cope?

Grump fest 2 Anyone with SSDI experience re FM out there willing to

talk to a newbee? Just applied, and first hearing is end of October.

What should I expect? Sorry to go on like this but the questions

keep coming. Will stop here and bore you another day with more

questions, Thanks for listening. Sharon

Hi Sharon.. I have used a scooter for the last 4 years.. my house is so tiny I

can stagger two steps at a time from one point to another, but I can go nowhere

without the scooter. I am very happy with it and I am sure you will love the

freedom a power wheelchair will give you. I feel quite superior overtaking fit

young men! And the wind in your hair gives you that sportscar feeling:)

Good Luck
