Tend to think I can handle myself around a gym. Heck, I’ve been working out since I was 16. And although MS has slowed me down a bit, I still manage to exercise five or six times a week in the privacy of my basement. So when I’m out of town …
If you are reading this, two things are certain: 1)- You have multiple sclerosis (Or some related chronic ick.) and 2)- You LOVE playing Bingo. That’s why My Odd Sock has combined the two to present “MS Bingo!!!” Below are several specially-created, MS-inspired Bingo cards to get us started….. Card …
Please enjoy this re-do of an older My Odd Sock while I take a breather. Best wishes. Quite possibly, the most over-used phrase of this MSer is “Or maybe.” (“Quite possibly” ranks a close second!) “Or maybe” comes in handy as I try to assess how I am feeling (good or …
Everyone needs a little push now and then. Something or someone that makes you want to dig a little deeper. Try a little harder. Go a little longer. Just don’t let that spark be me. Let’s back up slightly and I’ll explain. If you have been a reader of My Odd Sock for any …
Having multiple sclerosis isn’t difficult if you simply use a little common sense. To give you some healthy guidelines, My Odd Sock has created the list of “MS Dos And Don’ts.” Let’s get busy, shall we….. DO be aware of your bladder. Accidents happen. …
The picture on your left is : A- A medieval torture chamber. B- Devices of a Dominatrix. C- Things I use to battle spasticity. Although there may be some truth to both answers A and B, my intention was for you to choose answer C. Because C includes many of the weapons I …
Let’s face it, time is all we have—and who knows how much we get, so why not spend some time with a little physical exercise. (GAG, GASP, CHOKE, SPIT, GROAN, CHORTLE, PUKE, WHEEZ, SNORT, COUGH) Now hear me out. The time you spend moving that body of yours will thank you back times ten. It’s …
Warning: This post contains pictures that may frighten young children. Please “exercise” caution. People workout for their pecs, abs, bi’s, tri’s, traps, delts, lats, quads, hammy’s & glutes—but they rarely exercise the muscles….of their face! Did you know you have 43 muscles in your face just waiting to be used? Instead, we let gravity take …
“Na-NaNa-Na-Na.” Don’t bother. That’s just my MS-infested body making fun of me. Teasing. Taunting. Eh, I’m use to it by now. Similar to living with an older brother, we all get accustomed to the abuse after a while. That’s why MS moves around your body. Sometimes…it’s your hands. Other times, it’s your legs. …
Whaat? A guy with multiple sclerosis is gonna talk to ME about walking? That’s laughable. Next, you’ll tell me a heart patient is talking about snow shoveling….a diabetic who’s making cupcakes….or a chemo patient chatting about hair growth. All kidding aside, My Odd Sock, accompanied by his two sidekick canes, wanted …
