I'm thinking about joining some friends on a city break to NYC next year (a place on my bucket list). I know it's going to be...

Looking for travel advice.

I have walked with a cane for years, but it has gotten to be too much. I have started using a wheel walker around the house as well as long outings. I also own a light weight wheel chair. I have a loving husband who has stuck with through it all. We would like to travel (possibly Northern Ireland)...

Worth a try

Living in Florida, I’ve traveled south to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Guatemala and I’ve felt new. Dr doesn’t know why but someone with MS feels better going south. Not sure if you’d like to give it a shot for a week vacation.
