All those diagnoses and the insurance company is fighting? It seems a dumb move on their part. Those are heavy-duty illnesses with positive tests. and I wouldn't have thought they'd do more than try to see if they could intimidate you, with all that going on.

Don't get me wrong. The pain is awful. But I am generally able to force myself to keep moving no matter how much it hurts, whereas if I keep going past the point of physical exhaustion, I will nearly collapse.
There are times, though, when I do have too much numbness in my lower limbs to walk around a public place safely, and I would use the chair then too. Fortunately, these occasions are rare for me.
