Hello,
My name is Brigitte. I was diagnosed with MS in spring of '96. My hobby is writing, and that's part of what I do to keep my spirits up, and away from the truth: This has effected me, I can't even move without my scooter. I am in the process of trying to get a 4-wheeled scooter, but there is no place that will accept Medicare insurance. I see so many people at MS conventions who have them. The mobility companies that accept Medicare will only insure a 3-wheeled scooter. Do they know that a 3-wheeled scooter can easily tip over depending on the surface you're riding on. I know, I've tipped over so many times, I get a little nervous about where I go on one. What upsets me most is that these are ABLE BODIED people making a decision about what is "best" for me. Even if it's the federal government making the rules, how do they know? I haven't seen anyone in a position to say yes or no sitting in a wheelchair, scooter or any other mobility aids to get around. Okay, I'm not going to go on a rant about that, I just wanted to introduce myself. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear it.
