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 …
