    Had MM for over twenty years now.After years of vertigo my balance is pretty well shot.I do ok at home but the outside world has become the enemy.Scared to death to walk on blacktop after having drop attack last year at the Walmart parking lot.Had to have complete shoulder replacement.I am a senior citizen and thinking of getting a rolling walker wich I believe would help a lot.Any input greatly appreciated.

    My first thought with a rolling walker is if you have a vertigo attack will the wheels push out in front of you and cause you to fall? Will it be stable enough? I wonder if walking sticks might be an option for you? Or maybe a scooter like you see at Walmart. I hope you find something that will make you feel safe and comfortable.
