All I want to do is take a walk.

Bioness devices are clinically proven with the ability to increase range of motion and reduce the risk of falls, while improving confidence and independence. 1,2 https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Treating-MS/Rehabilitation/Functional-Electrical-Stimulation-(FES) I'm fortunate enough to own two legs adorned with feet and all the ornaments necessary for an ambulatory life (knees, toes, calves, ligaments, muscles, ankles - Did I miss anything?). I also have an incredibly strong desire to move. I've spent a ridiculous amount of cash trying alternative methods of drop foot treatment, marking me as an obvious sucker in finding a cure. I don't normally proceed without a lengthy review of said product and I think that's what really gets my goat. I don't have money to throw around on purchases, so believe the sincerity of my desire to take a walk . I don't mean a few miles on the Appalachian Trail (although, that was a goal at one time in my life). I want to stroll throu

Taopatch = scam?

So, as I sit fuming about not receiving my TaoPatch order within the promised time, this article popped up on my computer screen. I fear I may have been swindled. Oh, well, won't be the first time.                                                        MS patient shines a light on the harms of misleading media messages https://www.healthnewsreview.org/2018/05/ms-patient-ed-tobias/ https://www.amazon.com/Have-Whats-Your-Super-Power/dp/1882658442/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=i+have+ms.+what%27s+your+superpower&qid=1556457191&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull

Let's get positive

                                                                       In the wake of Covid19, Marco and Laura, Trump and Biden, and the current racial unrest in the world, I MUST address the positive amidst the chaos. While the media insists on focusing on the gloom and doom of 2020, I urge you to cast your eyes upon a more hopeful message.  It's not all bad. This garbage has been around for centuries. We, the residents of 2020, just happen to have the advantage of technical knowledge to broadcast the world's catastrophes.  No, I'm not downplaying the situation. I'm just trying to focus that pot of gold I believe exists. Really, this craziness is laughable. Trump mentioned his opponent's weaknesses 41 times in his nomination acceptance last night on national television. Biden did not focus on Trump during his speech last week. Is he the better man? Not necessarily, but my political prowess is admittedly sub-par. Fault can be found with either candidate, leaving thi

Dear MonSter

Dear MonSter, You've had me in your clutches for nearly twenty years and I don't like you any better than now then I did then. You are a relentless, evil, nasty, vile beast that continues to wear me down. That doesn't mean you've won, though.  As I continue to consume prescribed chemicals and endure grueling physical tests, I am one step closer to beating you at your own game. A morning e-mail informed me that my TaoPatch is on its way. It may not work. It may be another money trap seduction of hope. But, it just might be the experiment I've been looking forward to. Touted as a balance enhancer, this could very well be the alternative treatment that gets me to the restroom on time or keeps me on the croquet court longer. I'll take whatever advantage it gives. You, see, MonSter, you will never win this battle. MS Warriors are resilient beings that refuse to quit. Today I wrote a book review, paid bills, cleaned the kitchen, and repaired my thermostat. Granted phy
