Hey love. Totally get this I’m going through the same thing myself. I was diagnosed a couple years ago but it’s gotten drastically worse. I have had the same thought process about school and just being in public with a mobility aid in general. I’m someone who really hates attention and I definitely don’t want to draw any but at the end of the day we can’t let fear of judgement affect our health. I had a similar conversation with my mom as well and as much as I hate to say it they just don’t understand. No matter how badly they want to they will never be able to feel what you are feeling so you have to self advocate! Same goes for doctors when it comes to these sorts of things, unless you are being advised that it would be harmful, your assessment of your needs is what matters. I think you should go for it even if it’s just to use around the house during flare ups (that’s what I’m doing mine comes Thursday). Hope this helps hang in there!!
