Normally they scar up; hence the name Sclerosis. Many Scars. Mighty Scary, for some people! Has hubby had bloodwork to ...

Yup, that's the pic!

Are you the squiffy2 I saw on another website in a clown suit? In the London Marathon, 2005? How did you run in those shoes? They're the kind of shoe you ask someone who doesn't have MS to wear to give them an idea of how we walk!

Thank you! I saved the website to My Favorites, and copied most of the exercise descriptions to a do...

Wow, this is too cool! Thanks for posting these exercises! A lot of these I can do sitting here at the computer. I copied them all into a document for easy reference.
