ummm, gertrude. I left you a couple posts on the PPMS thread. Did you read them?

I never used a cane. I did not need one when I was first diagnosed PPMS. After a couple years, my MS had progressed to the point where a PT evaluated me. I wanted a cane but he had me walk with a cane and a rollator and told me to use the latter. I tried to convince him that I wanted a cane but he said my balance was better with a rollator.

There is no answers really. I know that is tough to process at this point for you. I am trying my best to offer comfort.

You and I have a few sx's in common and we are also close to the same age.

How long have you felt like you are trapped in a space suit?
