Mobility - Surviving Severe ME - Surviving Severe ME

Walking

If you can walk a short distance then there are different aids to help you – walking sticks, crutches or Zimmer frames. All are available from your O.T. or mobility supplier. You can decorate them with stickers or tinsel to make them look more fun.

Always make sure there is someone around when you are walking and that there are things to hold onto. Keep chairs and stools in strategic places in case you need to sit down suddenly.
