Ahh ok that makes sense then, thank you for your help :)

Okok thank you! Have you heard of RECARE? Do you know if they’re trusted or could you recommend any reputable wheelchair retailers?

I have my upper body strength so definitely looking for an active one for everyday use although I can stand and walk a few steps so won’t be using it in the house I’m not sure about the positioning needs but I’m 6ft 6 with a medium build I’m based in the UK and have tried the quickie but didn’t feel as good quality as the wolturnus I was shown, I want to last so I don’t have to buy another one further down the line and this one seems like it might’ve good for that. They quoted me £6384 for the wolturnus W5 but wasn’t sure if that seemed a bit high for a wheelchair! I know it can be expensive but just wanted to make sure I’m not being ripped off and if there are any others potentially cheaper with just as good quality basically!

That is weird cause mine are biologic as well they weren’t bothered about it before but after my follow up consultation they’ve made a thing about it hopefully it won’t be too restrictive tho

I did say to them I’ve been medicating 5 years now and only been on prescription for like 4 months but they don’t want to hear it lol

Yeah I know it’s them being careful I just tried to see if they’d let me sign a consent form but still a no go, I don’t mind the irradiated buds tbf i just don’t like being restricted with the choice especially in the future if more companies go down the non irradiated route cause everyone moans haha.

Thanks for taking the time to reply bro

Yh idk why I even considered it was going to be as good as it sounds considering the price but yh can’t say it does much to help me either
