As I posted elsewhere, I am not diagnosed yet but have great difficulty walking, one leg totally weak and the other on its way. Walking with sticks makes my arms hurt, as well as being exhausting. Is it advisable to give in and use a wheelchair - which actually I want to do as I feel I'd be a lot more mobile - or should one go on forcing oneself?

Give in a get a wheelchair.
If you do have ALS then you need to save your muscles.
 
Bonjour IrisMarie,

I used to think that way myself. Do you know that fighting to walk badly is really tiring?

I am in a power wheelchair now , and I should have done it sooner. I like you kept fighting to walk , and in doing so , damaged one of my knees.
