Advice & Tips
Standing and/or walking caused me serious fatigue. Using a chair really helps. I stopped using this borrowed chair because I got my permanent chair.

Advice & Tips
Technically I am Kurtzke EDSS 5.5, so I am able to walk. But when I do, fatigue consumes my entire body. So I borrowed a K0005 wheelchair (Quickie 2) to try out. It has made a tremendous difference. Because it's helping reduce my secondary fatigue so much, the Veterans Admin has Rxd me a wheelchair. I get fit for it in 3 weeks. This borrowed chair, though helpful, is too wide, too heavy, and too tall for me. I am very excited to be getting my own custom-fit chair. The VA Doc was very glad to hear I was exercising at a gym (including my legs). I continue to walk a little so my legs won't atrophy.

Advice & Tips
The manual wheelchair worked great for 2 years. Now my arms are too weak to push, and my upper back is too weak to allow me to stay seated in the chair, even with a very high back. Had to move to a permobil power chair with tilt and recline.

Advice & Tips
While I can't use a manual chair by my self, it allows me to get out with family without a lift on the car. I can go out to eat or for a shopping trip if I have someone to push me.
