As one with multiple sclerosis, you are well aware of all the crazy, wacky “cures” touted by a countless number of shucksters on the Internet. Cranberry, Ginko, Turmeric, Vitamin D, Diets, Bee stings, CCSVI and the list goes on & on. I’m not one to discredit a treatment option as it may just work …
How many can you relate with? Please enjoy this re-run of an old My Odd Sock….. It’s true. My Odd Sock has been away for quite a while. (Just long enough for the nightmares to subside, right?) But my time away hasn’t all been wasted. (Most of it yes, but not …
Hope you enjoy the 2nd run of this old My Odd Sock…stale popcorn & all…… My Odd Sock and multiple sclerosis go Hollywood! Many titles of feature films can be related to MS in some way, shape or form. My Odd Sock thought it might be fun to draw some red-carpet comparisons to …

As one with multiple sclerosis, walking, yeah simple walking, can be a misadventure of mobility. (Tell me something I don’t know!) But trying to carry something while walking can be a downright catastrophe! Especially if you are like me and use a mobility aid like canes, crutches, rollator, wheelchair, scooter…or a combo of …
“That’s gold, Jerry! Gold!” is Kenny Bania’s famous line from a classic episode of Seinfeld. Through the years, My Odd Sock has struck gold in goofy ads from the classified section of the local paper. The following gem was given to me by a dear friend who knows my fondness for the stupidly …
Time for a little multiple sclerosis fun (Duh, when isn’t MS fun?). In this mindless post (Duh, aren’t they ALL mindless?), you’ll be given a picture and three possible captions. Your job is to pick the caption that best describes the picture. Sound fun? So easy, let’s begin….. #1 …
