You need to get and do whatever is BEST for YOU. Please don’t put the thoughts of others in first place. YOU are the important one. I do understand as I tend to give the thoughts more importance than I should.

I'm an electric wheelchair user with FND. I love my chair - it gives me the freedom to get on with life - a manual would exhaust me. Try not to worry what other's think - their problme not yours - and get the tools that work for you. Many hugs and sympathies - I know the stares can be wearing.

Thankyou im getting my smart drive tomorrow and im going to be asking my ot about electric wheelchairs thankyou for being there for me xo

I have a Invacare TDX NB chair from the NHS - but postcode lottery will impact on what your OT is able to get access to. But can strongly recommend the 6 wheelers - power to the middle wheel, the rest are stabilisers - makes for a very manoeuvrable chair. Good luck with it all.

Definitely use whatever makes you comfortable, sod what people think, i in the same boat where my manual is starting to get too much. Others aren't suffering you are so ignor them and enjoy the beauty of electric, I can't wait to get one
