I've had my NeoWalk walking stick for 6 months now! Lets talk about 6 months of wear and tear on my stick, the anxiety i used to feel using a mobility aid in public and how that has changed to confidence over time and with practice, the reactions of strangers, such as comments, questions and compliments. I am physically helped by my stick, in balance, weakness, dizziness and exhaustion and I also find it easier to ask for help when I have my mobility aid because my invisible illness (ME/CFS) is made visible!

I Bought a FASHIONABLE WALKING STICK?!:    • I bought a FASHIONABLE WALKING STICK?...  

Do you have a mobility aid? (Let me know in the comments)

Thank you so much for watching!! Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to see more videos from me every SUNDAY (at 13:00 BST) this summer!
