UNBOXING MY WHEELCHAIR!! Come have a chat with me! ♿️ | ME/CFS |

My new wheelchair came!!!
Coming to terms with needing mobility aids is something that’s quite challenging. I have been using a walking stick for quite a while now as and when needed, however a wheelchair is something that will help me massively on days where my walking stick wouldn’t.
Please feel free to let me know your experiences with mobility aids in the comments down below!
Thank you so much for watching!! I hope you enjoyed this video. Make sure to like, comment and subscribe if you would like to see more videos from me :)

About Me:
Hi! My name is Abigail, I am 17 and living with ME/CFS (amongst other co-morbid and mental health conditions). I was diagnosed with ME in the end of 2019 and still now I struggle with it everyday.
ME/CFS is a chronic (long-term) neurological condition, it affects everyone in different ways but I hope by making this channel I can help those of you who are diagnosed, currently fighting for a diagnosis, or just wanting to learn more about the condition.
This channel will also showcase the parts of my life that I am able to do such as dancing and college life. 🤍

I’m an incomplete paraplegic, so I got a custom wheelchair it took months for it to be built. But when we went to the hospitals wheelchair clinic I was so excited! It was so much easier than the hospital wheelchair I got lol 😂

[@abigailrobinson03]

Hospital wheelchairs have a mind of their own and are not comfy at all haha! I understand your excitement though! I really hope your current chair works well for you 🤍

@@abigailrobinson03 Thank you for asking. Im okay. I've been pushing myself through PEM and that's been kicking my rear but gotta pay for the chair somehow. I hope you're doing well and enjoying your chair

[@abigailrobinson03]

@@monetmccain5301 Thank you! and yeah PEM is a real struggle, I’m feeling it myself this weekend after having such a busy week. Well done for keep trying to push through it but remember it’s okay to stop and ask for help; as we don’t want to make ourselves sicker from it all.

The footplate will be adjustable so you can make them even x

[@abigailrobinson03]

Yeah i’m not sure what it is, it’s like one sticks forward more than the other? I do need to adjust them but don’t wanna mess it up! xx

[@abbielawrence1388]

this was the 1st chair i got about 2 years it was a god send unfortunately my eds and pots have got worse and this chair is a bit too bulky for ne now so ive been fitted for a custom chair i really hope its working out for you

[@abigailrobinson03]

Thank you, I really hope your new chair is working for you too! Yes this one is a bit painful on my shoulders when pushing myself etc, and the seat won’t click down properly 😩 but it’s perfect for what I need at the moment!
