      Sorry I actually meant to click yes!. But really it's a very personal decision. I was told when I got diagnosed with eds that I'd probably be in a wheelchair by the time I was 30 & I tries so hard to prove them wrong but unfortunately having functional Neurological Disorder aswell has meant I now use a powerchair anytime I have to go out of the house!! I didn't really like using a manual wheelchair cos I found it caused more problems with my joints & limited my mobility but now I have a powerchair my mobility has improved immensely & I now have independence without putting more stress on my joints! You may find that having a wheelchair helps with your symptoms I have seen some people with pots that find it difficult to do anything without a wheelchair. ❤️
