A lot of change has occurred in recent days. A change in seasons. The weather changed. Some changed their clocks. In sports, champions change. Ranking change. Relationships change. Even last week we had a change in leaders. And through all this change, one thing remains steadfast—we have our multiple sclerosis. MS hangs …
Having multiple sclerosis challenges so many aspects of your life. From the simpliest task to the most difficult situation, an MSer battles far greater adversity than just stepping over a high curb. One thing we do is drive and/or ride in a motor vehicle. We think nothing of a 40 minute drive to …
Time for some fun with multiple sclerosis! Let’s take a TV show…and add a pinch of MS. This bit was inspired by Margaret, a long-time My Odd Sock reader & fellow MSer. She even contributed a few programs of her own! Ready to play? Join us as we “MS A TV Show”….. …
How many can you relate with? Please enjoy this re-run of an old My Odd Sock….. It’s true. My Odd Sock has been away for quite a while. (Just long enough for the nightmares to subside, right?) But my time away hasn’t all been wasted. (Most of it yes, but not …
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 …
Thought I would shake out the wrinkles on this post from a couple years ago. Enjoy…. Those of us with multiple sclerosis look to many avenues to staying positive.

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 …
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 …
If you are reading this, two things are certain: 1)- You have multiple sclerosis (Or some related chronic ick.) and 2)- You LOVE playing Bingo. That’s why My Odd Sock has combined the two to present “MS Bingo!!!” Below are several specially-created, MS-inspired Bingo cards to get us started….. Card …
I tend to sleep in the spare bedroom. But I am not alone. Because if you have multiple sclerosis as well—you’re right there with me. With MS, slumber can be a fitful, jumpy fog of tossing & turning between muscle spasms and potty runs. In other words, sleeping with MS, or sleeping …
