Got my new cane!
I just got my new cane today! Its silver-plated with a dragon head for a handle with a blue "gem" in its mouth. Totally badass! I want to post a pic of it on here, but idk how to do it? Can anyone help?
Yesterday was pretty rough. 😞 I had a violent shaking spell while taking a bath, been having shortness of breath for awhile that I thought was my asthma but now I'm starting to think it's MS-related, I couldn't remember ANYTHING, my daughter had to help me dress after my bath then help me walk to the couch, I had a bad headache, was VERY tired, dizzy, and my legs felt like rubber! I slept off and on all day.
@arica_therrien , nice stick. Unfortunately, the Forum doesn't support the posting of pictures. If you were to post on the internet, you could post a link........ Be wary of hot baths. Anything which causes our body temperature to increase is likely to emphasise our symptoms - https://www.mstrust.org.uk/a-z/uhthoffs-phenomenon .
I got mine too! I made some and my father kindly did the rest. I didn't want the NHS style one. Not v. aesthetically pleasing! I took a different approach to yours (sounds cool btw) and bought a 16mm cross-weave carbon tube, cut to length, from a supplier to the F1 teams, a 4 pack of rubber ferrules for the foot and the handle was made from False Acacia. Like @stumbler says, even warm baths are no fun at all. In the old days taking a hot bath was one of the diagnostic tests for MS!
