It’s time we had a little fun with our multiple sclerosis. (Like everyday is a real gas, right?) So in this My Odd Sock, the selection committee (me) has posted several photographs depicting life with MS. Next, the creative services department (me) has added three (hopefully) funny captions to each photograph. …
Life with multiple sclerosis can be routine. Or at least I try to make it so. Going to bed and getting up at the same time each day. Taking meds at the same time. Eating pretty much the same thing. Everything in routine clockwork to keep my MS from stirring. Yes, …
OK, I hear you. This guy has written some ridiculous stuff in the past…but this is about as far-fetched as it gets, right? A messy Tupperware cabinet being like MS? That’s about as big a stretch as me getting up a flight of stairs. Well just read on and I’ll try to …

Yep, it’s that time to don the clipboard and make a mockery of the theories of market research. You have been specially chosen (not really) to participate in this mindless survey of MS ridiculousness. Grab your pencil and answer each of these carefully-crafted questions as it relates to you & your MS. …
Around this day sixteen years ago, I received my MS degree (diagnosis) from the powers to be. They were the most devastating words I had ever heard. I hadn’t been that scared since the second grade. That’s when a teacher, Mrs. Metzger, shook me so violently I peed my pants right there …
This post should explain my recent absence at My Odd Sock. Enjoy! Maybe you have had the urge to give back. Maybe by making a donation. Or taking part in a benefit MS walk. Well, since I don’t have money to spare….and walking has become as awkward as chatting with …
Sorry, but please enjoy this “best-of-the-worst” My Odd Sock. “Can you believe he goes out in public like that.” “He use to be a runner, now look at him.” “First, a cane. Now a chair. He has gone downhill fast.” Have you heard comments like these? I have. Fortunately, I’ve only heard …
Like the works of the great literary giants, the following is a collection of random thoughts addressed to no one in particular (Hence, the title). Those of you with MS will find that you may relate in some way, shape or form. To Whom It May Concern: Don’t be offended …
