Hi. I use a rolling walker when I'm out and about (which isn't that often, actually...). I used to use two canes, but my arms get too tired. The walker's great, because it has a seat for resting. Plus, everyone's so polite to me when I'm using it. But if I get worse and the walker's no longer enough (I had a week like that not long ago), I will need either a wheelchair that someone else pushes, or a scooter. Rolling my own chair would be out of the question.
I have only had MG for about a year, so I can't say whether this is "normal" for MG. Even if I really have MG, which my doctor doubts but I don't (not really), mine's not a typical case of it, and the only treatment I've had is Mestinon.
I'm sorry you've had such a discouraging time. I'm really glad you've had some improvement in other areas, especially the breathing. I get frustrated with my trouble walking, and worried about what's going to happen next, but I'm so grateful that I've never had breathing trouble.
