When I first got diagnosed I had bad balance problems, still do but not as bad. I take the carbide/levodopa and it has helped me a lot except for the sleeping.

A Rollator is better. Many stores besides medical equipment ones sell them. Not only walk can sit. Has adjustable handles for width & ht. plus hand brakes. Four wheels & basket.
Light weight & folds up.
My mother has this plus the regular walker.
Walmart, Target are a couple of stores that have them. Probably pharmacies. Of course, medical equipment stores.
