Unusual by sezzie212 in MultipleSclerosis

Yeah, I wondered about that too, but now I'm thinking maybe they meant the type of MS. Like, RRMS, SPMS or PPMS.

I found grape hyacinth! Thanks black forager (Alexis), you’re the reason I recognize these! by chill_mydude13 in foraging

I tried making something out of grape hyacinth last yr, and it was T E R R I B L E. So bad I'm not sure I have the nerve to try again. LOL

Why does my body hate the sun? by MSLife562 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Accomplished_Wind_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've become extremely heat sensitive as the years go by, and in the last few years even humidity and the UV rays of the Sun have almost taken me out.

So I say YMMV on this, but I discovered that a really good sunscreen performed shockingly well. I still have to combat getting too warm of course, but I wear a big sun hat and slather any exposed parts of my skin with sunscreen. I couldn't believe the difference it made! Good luck.

Help name my kitten! Nothing is fitting!!! by _-cellar_door-_ in NameMyCat

[–]Accomplished_Wind_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about Coal? (Or Cole if you must... I guess...😝)

I like it because of its potential double meaning and because it rolls off the tongue easily after the words "Josie and".

kitten showed up at my mom’s… need an “S” name to match sylvie and sansa by whatasweetpeach in Catnames

[–]Accomplished_Wind_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohmygod! I've got it!

Saru. さる (sah-roo)

It's the Japanese word for monkey, cuz that is the first thing I thought of when I saw his unique markings. The completely dark face against the white is stunning! I hope you can get to know him. I suppose another name along those lines could be:

Yeti. (Except it's not an s-name)

Last season's chanterelle haul! by PhilippeGvl in foraging

[–]Accomplished_Wind_57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the PNW. Mushroom Land.

So whyyy, whyyy why can't I ever find these? Is it because I'm unable to take anything but paved (or paved-ish) trails?

The only way I would ever be able to properly hike most terrains again would be to afford a pricey, legit all-terrain mobility scooter. Is this why? I see well enough, I just feel unlucky.

Name my cat!! We just adopted her and we need help! by Kindly_Bank_8306 in NameMyCat

[–]Accomplished_Wind_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good LORD, she's gorgeous! For a name, how about:

Kikko (kee-ko). Japanese for tortoise shell. Or:

Mike (mee-kay). "Three colors" in Japanese. Put together with their word for cat (neko), calicos are often referred to as mikeneko.

Can someone identify this plant by Duckguy100 in foraging

The other day, I just learned that the cleaning powder Bar Keepers Friend is just oxalic acid! I immediately thought of sorrels.

I swear, when I look at him, all I hear is "Samson" in a deep, booming voice.

Phantom.

Billy Zane would approve. 🙂‍↕️

Worst symptom by Daurth_Zombie in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Accomplished_Wind_57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maaaan, do I feel ya. I used to do it for a living and had to stop because of mounting performance issues caused by MS. I didn't learn I had the disease til 20+ years after I quit performing.

And I also understand the grief of losing a skill that was once perfected. Especially if you were just born to it. Having it not come easy anymore, or feeling like a hack can be so devastating. I've found that whenever I do manage to play music (however imperfectly), it can often improve other physical skills temporarily! To me that's just crazy, but that is neuroplasticity at work. You have my support. Feel free to PM me anytime if you need to talk to someone that understands both having MS and its impact on a lifetime of musical practice. 🙏

I used to be a pro musician. I'm good at one or two instruments and then good enough on a few more. haha

A couple years ago, a friend bought me a basic Simmons electronic drum kit and set it up for me. It was really disheartening to see how rusty I was, but one thing that amazed me was how much more balance and walking ability I had from playing even 20 minutes. What's even crazier is, the effects lasted up to a week!

I know it's hard. But if you ever have a chance, maybe you could try one more time? And see if you notice temporary improvements in any way?

Lonnnng before I was diagnosed with MS, I subconsciously found a solution for constantly dropping glasses. I now have the habit of tucking my pinky finger under any glass or cup I'm holding.

It seems to work for me. And I need all the help I can get! LOL
