Not right handed. Not left handed. I’m one handed. Wait, you say. It’s obvious from the picture you have both hands…so what do ya mean by claiming you are one handed? Well, many of us with multiple sclerosis have a terrible sense of balance. Me personally, I am more unsteady than …
There are times, whether you want to or not, when you are faced with doing the nasty deed. No, not that. I’m referring to changing your healthcare provider. To someone with no major health problems, this isn’t such a big deal. But when you have a chronic illness, like multiple sclerosis, change …
I do not have a foot fetish. It only appears that way. Through illness (multiple sclerosis), I have become obsessed by how feet do their thang (or how they don’t in my case). Though I am not alone in my preoccupation as most MSer’s I know have the same problems. A “one-size-fits-all” if …

As a kid growing up, I often heard the older folks complaining about the world “goin to hell.” “The future being doomed” and “Kid’s today don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground.” (Their words not mine.) I suppose they thought that way because elders said the same about …
Around the holidays money can run a little thin. Everything adds up prompting me to wonder what I (with MS and two mostly dead legs) could do to earn a few extra bucks. Since being a male escort was off the table, I decided to answer my calling…actually a newspaper ad…and donate my plasma! …
I tend to forget. A lot. I don’t put the entire blame on icky MS. Just some of it. Most I owe to a lack of perspective. A lapse of judgement. A brain fart, if you will. Because after living with multiple sclerosis for 19 years now, I have forgotten how …
The following is a paid-commercial announcement. Hey MSers, tired of the same-ol night on the town? Fed up with crowded bars? Restaurants that aren’t accessible? With blaring music? And too few restrooms? Then, My Odd Sock has the place for you. Welcome to….. Grab Bar! The exclusive …
