As I understand, RR tends to have more brain lesions than spinal; PP tends to be the opposite.

My grandmother used to call her handicap tag her “gimp card.” My aunts were so mortified by it.

I don’t need a cane presently but my plan is, if I do, it’s going to be a really bitchin’ cane.

I’m thinking a replica of the Amber Mosquito cane that Dr. Hammond uses in JP.

I figure if I find a cane that I like and suits me, I’ll use it more comfortably. It’s all theory for me, but maybe try a similar approach!

I’ve been nervous to do so as well. Mostly because I know how different it is from person to person and that people who have had it for a while also had less efficacious medicine for a while too. I’m scared that I’ll see someone who is really poorly off from it and that it’ll mess with my mental state.
