Being completely devoid of ideas is not uncommon here at My Odd Sock. It’s something I’ve taken for granted since the inception of this blog back in 2009. My calling card of lameness, if you will. And this post is no exception. Here are some random pictures I found interesting….. Scooter Jet Ski A new …
It doesn’t take much. Just a peek. A glance. A look. That’s all you need to recognize a fellow MSer. It’s in the way they hold themselves. The slight hitch in their giddy-up. The lift of a hip to throw their leg forward. You know the tell-tale signs of MS because you have experienced them …

Like being etched in stone, you remember the day you were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For some it was a long awaited answer to lingering health problems.

For many, the day revolves …
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 …
