If you have multiple sclerosis, two things are absolutes… 1)- You have bad balance. (Like riding a unicycle on a bed of ball bearings.) and 2)- Because of the lack of balance, you are forced to wall-walk–holding onto anything solid. For a better grasp on the subject, I …
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 …

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 …
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 …
