@A MyFibroTeam Member I understand, I worked as a Disability Consultant for years. I would have people say to me the guy down the block gets Disability and there nothing wrong wire him. I then reply to the person how do u know he doesn't have AIDS, Heart condition, Liver failure? Is he to put his problems in permanent marker on his forehead for the world to see? Pray for the Ignorant that's all we can do. U don't owe them any explanation, and only YOU can let them make you feel bad! Also remember Karma is a B_ _ _ h! Keep on caning along, YOU are not alone on FIBRO ISLAND.
You know I was amazed at how much better I do if I pushed a trolley around at a supermarket or Mall it helps a Lot!
I use a cane when I'm really having a painful day. I also have issues with coordination and have fallen quite a bit. The thing that bothers me more about using a cane on bad days are the comments that I get from the people that I work with.You look fine, It can't really be that bad. Your just trying to get attention aren't you. People can be so insensitive at times. I would not wish this illness on anyone.
Man, I wish that I could afford a mobility scooter! That would be a blessing!
I have a mobility scooter and a walking stick. The scooter is the best thing I have ever brought. It means that I can go out moor.
