Lately ive been having a really rough time and ive had been having moments where i feel like a cane would be a big help and make me feel more physically secure/stable but at the same time im really embarrassed to use one at this point in my life. im in my 20s and dont look sick and ive recently done pretty strenuous things while i was at my best but now i feel like im closer to my worst and would really like a cane.
I Used a cane when i broke my foot a while back and i was actually able to get around easier with a cane and a broken foot than with no cane and 2 good feet! it was just less tiring to have it right there to lean on and support some weight when i walked.
But like i said im really embarrassed to try using one now. i guess I feel like if i do to much or get too much help ill be put in a healthy or unhealthy box in peoples minds.
Do any of you guys use a cane for CFS symptoms? what has it been like for you?
