Flipstick

My fold away "FlipStick" is a godsend! I bought it the last time I was travelling to America and it was invaluable. 

One of my issues with M.E. is - POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) or more commonly called OI, (Orthostatic Intolerance).

Having POTS means I am unable to stand still for very long. Standing in waiting lines causes my blood pressure and heart rate to go crazy. Not only do I feel faint and nauseas at the time, the next day I'll be stuck in bed feeling much worse.

This handy little walking stick is great. It comes in it's own shoulder bag and is very light and portable.

It quickly folds out,





to become a sturdy walking stick with a comfortable grip handle.




When I'm stuck in a line or just tired, with the press of a button, it converts into a handy little seat.




This fantastic walking stick is a great help and will definitely be coming with me on my trip!
