I think an older member had a service dog and posted about it...did you try doing a search of the forum? I think service dogs are great and I can definitely see ways that one could help me...so I say go for it if you are up to it! Really think about the ways they can help you with crowds, lifting things, opening things, balance (if that's an issue for you...it is for me), getting items for you, etc. There are lots of ways for a service dog to help with this condition.
