Personal MS Web Sites

One of the best ways to learn about MS and how to come to terms, face it and learn to live with it, is from fellow people with MS. Their knowledge and real life experience is dealing with and managing MS day to day can give you a great starting point on which you can build. Knowing that you are not alone, and whatever you are going through, you can bet others have been through it too, and come out the other side as survivors, often stronger for the experience, is very reassuring and empowering.

MS: MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

"I am a 47 year-old male and have had Multiple Sclerosis since 1985. The diagnosis was confirmed due to my inquisitiveness after my first symptoms, which was the limping in my left leg followed by slight blurring vision..."

A great place to meet other MSers and talk, a place to make new friends and learn more about MS.

I know exactly how you feel.

It’s frustrating trying to make people understand what you’re going thru and what you’re feeling. The truth is that the frustration disappears only when you meet and talk to someone else with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Someone like you!

In MS-multiple-sclerosis-symptoms you have a place designed with you in mind by someone just like you.

Most of My Odd Sock is nonsense. It's my calling card! But it is also what is bouncing around in my head like a peanut in a tin can. So I use this Internet thingy that Al Gore invented to spew my dumb thoughts about MS and a whole lot of other stuff that gets my knickers in a twist. Hop on and enjoy the ride." - Doug Ankerman

Doug Ankerman created the Web site, My Odd Sock, to raise awareness about multiple sclerosis and shed light on his humourous moments.

The whole website is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and make people wonder what you have been up to.

Jock is wise man indeed and the way he views life is just plain inspiring!

Hi, I’m Rachel and I have relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

I was diagnosed in November 2007, at the time I was planning my wedding and buying a house for the first time. After the initial shock of the diagnosis, I decided to read lots to see if there was anything I could do to help. I read lots about MS and diet and I made some fairly major changes to my diet. I no longer eat any dairy or gluten and try to have a healthy diet . I try to keep active, in my youth I trained as a ballet dancer for 10 years, so I love dancing although I’m not sure if MS and pirouettes go together, I am attending some ballet classes soon, so will find out!

I have tried alternative therapies and often go for reflexology and acupuncture, which I believe help and are a lovely treat! My main thing is to try and be positive, I think a positive attitude helps. It’s been nearly five years since my MS started, although I didn’t know what it was at the time.

Fingers crossed, touch wood, and all those other things, I am doing OK or as the neurologist said recently, very well.

I work at the local University and live with my husband and two mischievous cats, much of our spare time is refurbishing our house, which is very much stuck in 80’s decor!

Rachel.

"Since I first started work on our family site in June 2005 it’s always been my intention to have a section on MS. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an illness that affects some 80,000 people in the UK so it’s certainly not rare. There’s a lot of invaluable information on the web, information not only for sufferers but for those close to them. I’ve added a page to this area of the site and will put links to the places I consider to be well worth a visit on there............."

This site is dedicated to all those, who, like myself have Multiple Sclerosis.

I hope through the laughter contained on this site to lighten the load of those with MS, to entertain those without the disease, and in the process to raise much needed funds for The Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre.

It is clear to nearly everyone that has Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or is close to someone who has it, that there are often many physical challenges associated with this condition.

Exercise and diet are extremely important factors influencing the physical and emotional well-being of everyone, regardless of their health situation.

However, this is especially true for people with MS. Appropriate diet and exercise will go a long way to improving the quality of life of people who have this difficult disease, and these are the two primary components of the program described here.

The program offers both exercise and dietary resources (including exercise DVDs and specific recipes incorporating appropriate dietary ideas). Links to information about other exercise/physical therapy programs as well as general lifestyle adaptations can also be found here.......
