Winter walking with MS
With 2 dogs, walking is something I do daily. I read somewhere (on this site?) that in the days before dmd's, one doctor recommended walking as long as possible.
In the wilds of Montana, walking in the winter is a challenge since right leg strength and balance are real issues for me. A nurse at the clinic where I get my infusions recommended a product called "Stabilicers", and I purchased a pair. They are basically 17 bolts on a Vibram sole and weigh 1/2 pound each. They work and do keep me upright, and I figure the extra weight gives my legs some extra exercise. Needless to say, I don't walk as far, but I'm still walking! Thought they might prove useful to someone else
