MS Dos And Don’ts
![Rules to live by.](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_1569-300x225.jpg)
Having multiple sclerosis isn’t difficult if you simply use a little common sense.
To give you some healthy guidelines, My Odd Sock has created the list of “MS Dos And Don’ts.”
Let’s get busy, shall we…..
![Don't stray too far!](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_1557-300x225.jpg)
DO be aware of your bladder. Accidents happen.
DON’T tether yourself to the toilet.
![Have you seen my shirt?](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_1553-300x225.jpg)
DO remain active. Exercise is important in the fight against MS.
DON’T use the exercise bike as a laundry rack.
![The doctor is busy now.](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Doctor-golf-250x300.jpg)
DO make a point to be on time for doctors appointments.
DON’T make the doctor late for his 3:15 tee time.
![Pleasure doin business with you!](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_1548-300x225.jpg)
DO get a disabled parking placard for shopping convenience.
DON’T sell your placard on the black market.
![Phew, I'm cooler now.](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Too-small-t-shirt.jpg)
DO wear a cooling vest during Summer’s warmer temperatures.
DON’T try to stay comfortable wearing less clothing.
![Gotta pee now.](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_1551-300x225.jpg)
DO keep your body hydrated by drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water each day.
DON’T drink it all at once.
![That's a triple 18.](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/IMG_0812-300x225.jpg)
DO participate in an approved disease modifying treatment program.
DON’T use the syringes for a game of darts.
![Have any croutons?](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_1566-300x225.jpg)
DO be aware of MS-related leg tremors. Alert your doctor of any changes.
DON’T rely on your leg tremors at dinner to shake the bottle of salad dressing.
![Can I have a wine spritzer?](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/IMG_0015-300x225.jpg)
DO keep important items like hand disinfectant & tissues in the basket of a rollator.
DON’T use the rollator basket to chill your adult beverages.
![It's an uphill climb, but you got this!](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_1562-300x225.jpg)
Finally, DO remain positive. Stay active & engaged.
DON’T give up and don’t withdraw. You are bigger than the MS we fight.
Keep moving.

Great post. Defininitley MS related but I think relatable to middle agers too. Its bound to happen to us all?, unfortunately us MS’ers will probably lose first : ( Just remember no matter what; be thankful for the “small” things!!!
Love it My Odd Sock- super important info!
Ok, how did you get the sock to stand up for the picture?
Kerri,
Sorry but I had to laugh at your question of the sock standing up.
To answer you…medication. Lots & lots of medication!
Thanks to you & Yvonne for your comments!
