For those wondering and confused from my post history: I can walk. I can run. I can do some sports. But it costs me endless amount of energy and pain. And I never can enjoy it to the fullest without being completely dead later that day.
I've had my wheelchair for a while but was too embarrassed to use it. I borrowed it to my friend with FND a while ago and since it is my chair, she allowed me to try it again. I already felt so free. I could move and I could actually breathe and not be in pain, just mind-blowing feeling for me that time.
Anyways, I got my wheelchair back and decided to try to use it. And honestly... I've never felt more free. On one side, I'm wondering if walking is supposed to be that effortless (and probably is) and on the other, I'm so happy I did it. There will be people commenting on how I'm lazy. But the amazing feeling of freedom is just something incredible.
If anyone is ashamed, scared or embarrassed to use mobility aids, try to not be. These aids don't have one allowed use, they are there for everyone. Don't be scared. Use that chair if you need it.
