Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has claimed the #1 spot as the Most Wanted Fugitive Disease. Across the globe, over 2.5 million people are affected by MS. Over 400,000 people in the United States alone. MS has been accused of burglary. Stealing independence, mobility and quality of life. Ruining plans. Robbing …
“How are you?” is an honest enough question. But if you have cancer, MS, the bubonic plague or anything in between…you tend to hear that question more than usual. Ad nauseum, in fact. It’s a toss-up to what I hear more often…”How are you?…or the two guys eating at Sonic. (I get it—they like …
Through the years, My Odd Sock has proven you don’t have to look far to find something funny. (Usually skipping My Odd Sock and visiting another humor site will suffice!) Here are a couple of things I stumbled upon (I have MS–shit happens) in recent days….. First, …
Let’s revisit this old My Odd Sock. I am currently “prepping” for my first colonoscopy, so no time to create a new post. Please enjoy as I gotta go. Literally, I gotta go…. Yep, crowds, chaos & confusion. Nothing brings this Odd Sock to his knees faster than a situation involving any of …

We’re all mostly serious & junk about our “platonic” relationships with multiple sclerosis. That’s why My Odd Sock has decided to call recess for a little MS Playtime! But we can’t play without toys, right? So I gathered up a few bits to use in poking fun at our dreaded ick. …
Please enjoy this repeat My Odd Sock. (Translation: I’m too lazy to write something new!) When you have multiple sclerosis or any other ickiness that ends with “osis,” it’s easy to get down on yourself. Maybe you can no longer cut the rug (dance) like you once did every Friday night …
