You have probably wondered what exactly your MS meds are doing. But are you curious about what they may be saying? I was. So I used a highly-sensitive recording device to capture the conversations between several syringes. Here, in a My Odd Sock exclusive, are excerpts of my findings…. Yes, quite compelling indeed. I thought …
Well, you’ve made it halfway through the school year. But before you can enjoy the holiday break, you must take the dreaded MS Midterm Exam. Let’s hope you’ve paid attention during your doctor’s visits. Studied up with Momentum magazine and the other outstanding online MS resources. And of course, kept up-to-date with the usual brain-numbings …
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!

It’s hard to avoid….the floor that is. With multiple sclerosis, your balance gets as twisted up as underwear after a full day at the amusement park. So you may take a fall or two….or three hundred.

It’s all about the big four….the Eastern…the Central…the Mountain…and the Pacific. Of course, I’m referring to the four time zones found here in the U.S. When I say “big,” I’m really talking about the Eastern, Central & Pacific only. The Mountain is like the ugly stepchild time zone no one cares about. And what’s with …
One cannot anticipate the unpredictability of MS. When you ying, it yangs. Go left, it goes right. Yep, multiple sclerosis has a mind of its own. And you can’t change it no matter what. So you better have a contingency plan. That’s what happened last week while doing some much needed weeding of the flower …
Since my diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (Class of 1996 Motto: “’96 we’re not hicks!”), this disease has come to define my life in many different ways. Some for the worse, but some, I must say, for the better. So, I thought I would jot down a few examples of what MS means to me…and share …
I thought I would kick back for a couple days so I called Dan Digmann to fill in. Dan & his lovely wife, Jennifer, both have MS and write for their own blog which you can find in the My Odd Sock blogroll below. Please enjoy Dan’s essay…”Make It Good”….. I’m not even trying to …
