When I first got sick, I didn't understand what was happening. I would go to the store and it felt like my legs were going to completely give out. I could only go in the store down one aisle and back to the checkout. I couldn't do my normal shopping. I also had pain in my back and hips. Finally, I got the courage to use the electric shopping cart at the store. It was such a relief. I had the freedom to shop as long as I wanted to. People were nicer to me than when I tried to walk. Now, I only shop in stores that have those electric carts. I have waited a half hour, at times, for one of those carts. So, if your stores have those electric carts, use one. They are pure freedom.

Thank you for sharing. Lower back for pain a nd spasms in my legs

Linda, I have a walker and am using it once a day to do some walking. It has a seat so I can sit and rest when it gets too much.

Linda, I have an upcoming appt with a pulmonolgist and my primary care thinks she can get me going better. I do think I need some oxygen.
