[NFB-DB] Vertigo and Mobility Issues

[Marsha Drenth]

Both myself and mother have this issue in addition to having some hearing loss. We both use a large wheeled Rollator walker that also has a seat. My mother and I developed a video on YouTube that shows how she uses her walker and a long white cane. If anyone is interested, I can share that here. In some cases when I am super dizzy and having a lot of pain, I will use a wheelchair.
Hope this helps.
