Hi everybody. My disability is MS. I very often have people bump into me, even though I use a crutch for balance. Or worse people think I am drunk. Sometimes I wish they could be in my shoes just for a week or 2

Hi @FormulaF1
Welcome to the community! When I first started having symptoms of Ataxia, I was walking like a drunk and it was horrendous the amount of people giving me funny looks. When it got too bad I had to use a wheelchair for not my own safety but people around me so I didn't fall onto them or worse on the road.Disability Gamechanger - 2019
