I just recently got a cane to help me with balance when I have flare ups since I tend to feel unbalanced for hours to even a day after an episode of pre syncope. I was wondering if anyone else has also found that a mobility aid has helped, and just wanted to encourage anyone who was thinking about getting/using one to do so!

For me mobility aids such as canes and walkers don't help as I tend to fall on my butt! But that's just me, I would suggest that if anyone is thinking about getting one to do it because if it helps you to keep doing your thing than its worth it. Also I'm glad that they help you.
