I use the shopping cart at the grocery store too. At home, I just walk, but if I wanted to use a rollator we've got three of them here. (my mom has had two knee surgeries)

I'm tempted to toss one of the rollators into the back of my RAV4.

About two or three months ago, I had a week where I felt like I do now, but actually felt worse physically. (couldnt stay awake at all and felt sick from being so sleepy) I used the electric cart in a Lowe's for the first time ever. Havent done that in a Walmart or the grocery store we use yet.

I felt better about a week after that. Even a week ago I went to the grocery store with my dad and didnt use the shopping cart (dad needed it more) but earlier this week when I fell down trying to put up an Xmas decoration, I've been feeling crappier as the week has gone on. Not feeling as sick as I did earlier this year, but my legs do feel a little more rubbery

I'm just still not used to this part of the MS yet. Having no balance. I used to rollerskate every weekend when I was younger. I was a fast skater, and I used to like to do spins and some figure skating. I had GREAT balance. Now I feel like I'm going to fall of my chair while typing this. I havent skated since I was about 25, but I still had my good balance earlier this year. (my 6yr old cousin and I were heel-to-toe walking on a brick wall back at Eastertime when she came over to visit...ok, the wall was only 2 landscaping bricks high, but right now I cant even walk heel-to-toe on a flat surface)

I just dont like the sensation that I'm going to fall every time I get up.

My skin is burning right now too...started out at the feet, but it's at my waist now, and I have a weird feeling in my throat like I cant swallow or like something is numb inside my chest. I just dont like this. I feel like I'm being tortured.
