Several years ago while waiting in the neurologist’s office, I began to look around. (I’m nosy that way) Amidst the books, wall posters & models of the brain, I noticed a chart on the bulletin board. Curious, I peeked closer. What I saw disturbed me. Downright frightened me. Turns out the “chart” was acutally …
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 …
Think you’re an MS Know-It-All? Do you yawn your way through routine visits with your neurologist? Are you up-to-snuff with all the new fangled treatment options for the ick we call multiple sclerosis? If so, you are WAY too intelligent for any challenge offered by this website. …

MSer’s use walls and other stable surfaces to maintain their balance by constant touching when more preferred mobility aids (ie- canes, crutches, rollators) are out of reach. Wall walkers are easy to spot as they generally must …
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 …
