Bill C - even the balance issue isn't such a big one with the Segway. While I am walking around my balance is not brilliant, especially as I get tired. Yesterday I stumbled several times while working at the mission but as soon as I got on my Segway I was just fine.

I also find a lot of things trigger true vertigo (not just dizziness) for me, but as yet, I have not had this happen while on the Seg. I do have to be careful showing people how it turns in place - one turn in one direction is my limit

Linda at this forum (Lazarus) has been surprised that she has had a very similar experience. On two feet she is unsteady and gets dizzy. On the Seg this doesn't happen.

Nothing is inexplicable, merely unexplained..... Dr. Who
I also find that it is easier to balance on the Segway than with my canes. I also don't get as tired and my back, legs and arms don't hurt like they do when I use a wheelchair or canes.
