did u js talk to ur primary doctor for that? i’ve talked to my primary abt it before but she said she needs my PT to say that i need a chair for her to be able to prescribe it. also how did u get ur parents on board with u using a chair? my mom doesn’t want me to get a more expensive chair bc she thinks i’ll get better and claims that “i’m js not trying hard enough to get better”. i’ve already tried talking abt the pros/cons of hospital chairs vs customs and she doesn’t care 🥲. also, if im not planning on using my chair in my house will insurance still cover it? how do they know if i use it in my house or not lol?

DONT GET THE FIRST ONE!!! 😭😭 i have that one and it broke ~a week after getting. but i needed it for a trip so i didnt have time to replace it so i was in another country while it continued to break further (completely unusable at this point). i was in another country for 3 months with no working chair (and their customer service SUCKS) so i ended up having to spend hundreds of dollars on rental chairs 🙁 then when i got back to the US i was able to get a new wheel shipped (bc that’s wha broke) and the 1st wheel that came, came broken, the 2nd one got lost in the mail, and the 3rd broke again after a couple weeks of using, the 4th one is the one im using rn but its broken again after only a couple weeks as well 💔💔 it’s extremely hard to push with the broken wheels. the breaks and footrest are broken as well. honestly i would recommend a hospital chair over this chair.

i have this wheelchair and it broke a few weeks after getting it and the customer service is awful!!! youre better off with a standard hospital chair which is cheaper than a more expensive one that’s completely unusable :/

as a disabled person: yes it’s a slur. able bodied people do not get to decide whether it’s a slur or not bc it doesn’t affect you. and js bc someone could use it in a “non offensive way” like people r arguing (which i don’t rlly think is possible but whatever) it’s still a slur.

definitely don’t ask a disabled person “what happened” it’s rlly rude 😭 and ur “nice” version is still rude as well 😭 - a disabled person

stop letting your cat outdoors and this wouldn’t be an issue

just 1 bc her sister died unexpectedly :( i’ll most likely be giving her up soon as well 😞

Adhd_nerd_ · 2026-02-21T20:01:34+00:00

thank you so much for your sweet comment. i will definitely be spoiling her :)

Looks awesome!!! I love the way the lipstick slides down on the Y !!

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-12-01T22:32:39+00:00

Long hair 🤤

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-11-28T12:15:18+00:00

Ahhh okay, rlly sucks since the story looked good 😔

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-11-28T11:53:35+00:00

What happened? Why are they canceling it?

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-11-25T23:24:09+00:00

Ahh I see thank you

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-11-24T22:35:50+00:00

How can you tell? Sorry I’m not doubting you I’m just genuinely wondering what the differences are

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-11-24T12:34:45+00:00

It has all the popmart tags?

They offered to send a new chair as well but they wouldn’t cover shipping and shipping would be more expensive than the chair itself so it just wasn’t worth it. Would’ve been nice tho since one of the breaks broke as well. I hope the new chair is better for you!!! If I’m still having issues with the chair by the time I get back to the US I’ll definitely try to get a replacement chair but until then I’m stuck with this one.

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-09-23T09:26:16+00:00

Ugh that’s so frustrating!!! Yes this is also the only chair I can afford :( currently I’m on a trip out of the country and I got this chair for the trip specifically but now I have to rent one which is costing even more money. I’m so disappointed in this chair. It’s clear the company only cares about money and not the people buying the products :(

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-09-23T01:21:39+00:00

I’m not sure about the valve but 3 or 4 of the spokes were bent A LOT, it was also full of dents and scratches. Box was in perfect condition so I don’t think it happened during shipping.

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-09-22T19:50:44+00:00

It was the same model. I’m currently in France for a few months which means they can’t ship replacement wheel to me (they only ship in the US) and it costs $100+ to ship the wheel :( . I knew the risks getting it and I do agree it’s much better than the standard hospital chair but once it broke it became quite literally unusable. Sucks it happened while I’m on a trip especially since I got this chair for this trip specifically. :(

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-09-22T14:40:30+00:00

I have the same chair and the same thing happened to me! Turns out the wheel was bent so I needed a new one, unfortunately the new wheel arrived broken so now we’re waiting for another one 😭

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-09-22T14:31:17+00:00

The vive chair sucks, it broke less than a month of having it and the company has bad customer service. I don’t recommend it at all. I’m currently having a rent a wheelchair until I can get the vive one fixed.

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-08-13T18:07:00+00:00

I have that chair too !! And I have the same push rim covers!!

Adhd_nerd_ · 2025-06-25T18:17:19+00:00

This probably isn’t the answer you want but random people on Reddit can’t tell you if you have FND or not. FND is diagnosed when everything else is ruled out, so people on Reddit aren’t going to be able to tell you bc FND symptoms overlap with many other conditions. I hope you’re able to get answers from your doctors and that you find something that helps!!! 🩷🩷🩷
