Enjoy this repeat performance of an awkward moment of life with MS! My cane has become a necessary part of my daily attire. Like pants! Cane is quite reserved, never saying anything and has become a close friend I can lean on. But lately my relationship with my cane has scuffled (like …
Here is an encore My Odd Sock I think you will enjoy! What is with you MS people? It’s always about your bowels or your bladder. Bowel this. Bladder that. Bowel-Bladder. Bladder-Bowel. Give it a break already! I wish I could. And you probably agree. But after 13 years of shared bliss with multiple …

Ah, the Doublemint Twins, characters from the old Wrigley Doublemint gum ad campaigns. I’ve thought of them alot over the years during my life with multiple sclerosis. (I’ve thought of them too after an evening of adult beverages–but that’s a whole other story!) Since getting “hitched” to MS back in ’97, I’ve always wished …
