When is the Right Time to Get a Wheelchair?

Hey I was wondering if you/your followers have any advice on when to get a wheelchair. I have hEDS and have been slowly drifting from walking to braces to crutches. Currently I work from home but I’m going to college next year so I’ll be moving a lot more and my legs already hurt and I feel tired just thinking about it. So how do I know when it’s time to get some wheels? Also any tips on how to deal with using a chair when I can technically walk. I don’t feel disabled enough for it sometimes.

Get a wheelchair when walking becomes difficult, painful, and/or dangerous.
Remember that walking is not the ideal.
