I use a cane for shorter distances or better days (HurryCane), and a standing rollator with a seat for longer distances or worse days. A standing rollator was WAY better than my regular one, as it was starting to negatively affect my posture and back.
Ooh I have the same problem with my regular rollator & the standing one looks awesome. Whimsi— I get what you’re talking about. I feel that way often, but it’s better than fainting in public? Also, I have noticed I need a wheelchair, but I’m not sure how to use it for tasks like grocery shopping. I know they have the buggies, but I’m shopping for a family of 5 😑 I use grocery delivery/pickup a lot

I have a wheelchair, it really helps with the dizziness and the brain fog, but I only use it when I go shopping or something like that
I have a wheelchair because some days I just can't walk for long. I usually only use wheelchairs for the store or somewhere I would have to do long walks.
Following! I have a rollator for long walking excursions on flare days. I haven’t decided on whether to get a wheelchair yet or not tho. Anyone else got anything?

@HeyReese I’m considering getting a rollator for the same reason. The only thing I’m concerned about is people thinking I’m faking
