Have you tried a cane before? Maybe one with the 4 feet bottom?

I'm not trying to be a wise-guy either, beautiful.
My last exacerbation and problems I've been having with my back make me use the walker more often than my cane when I'm out and about. (Unless I have a shopping cart). It's great when I need something to lean on, but walking with it gives the upper body a work out and can wear me down even faster.

And the Provigil, what dosage are you on?

One more thing, BIG (((slskckjebw))) for you, and sorry they didn't have better news for you.

Oh thank you. I am so angry right now I could throw things

! Even though I am a girl I was always physically strong and tough! Climbing trees, riding horses bareback (that is not an easy thing to do) played football when I could, volley ball, I had very strong legs. I used to get into enough trouble I needed stitches more than once in my life.

I used to throw shot-put in school. Could bench press almost as much as the guys. I was tough and I never dreamed this would happen. I am having a difficult time right now.

I WILL be ok but I have to get through this. I feel worse now than I did when I got my dx.

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It really does help.

I am taking 100 mgs of Provigil. The problem for me is if I take more I can't fall asleep at night. My doctor did just add another med that seems to make me want to sleep so maybe I should try to go up on the Provigil and see what happens.

And make sure that if you do get a walker get a flashy one - maybe red - and add a horn - a loud horn - one that makes people and animals move quickly out of your way -
