Hi there DB!

I am RRMS and was Dx 5 years ago. I am on Rebif. I am mobile but use a cane for rough ground or longer distance. I don't trip like 5 years ago, but I have a numb right foot and hand.

Here comes Beth barging in on Taffy. Wow, I didn't realize our similarities. I too have RRMS and have a numb right foot and hand. But, I was dx 10 yrs ago and walk good without an exacerbation. Although I tend to do it (walk) on the diagonal. Which does lead to bumps and bruising for me and those that get in my path.

Cool, I'm a right drifter and no door jamb or corner is safe. Maybe it's me who is not safe from door jambs or corners. There that sounds better.

Wink
so if the two of you walk next to each other....you could "drift" into each other just enough to walk straight? or would i be correct in assuming that one would try to push the other thru an open doorway or window?

LOL, Monkey, I can see that happening!

I'm happiest in a hallway, I just bounce from side to side. I did great on a cruise once, we hit some rough sea and I think I was the only one walking normally!

Yep, we'd either balance each other out and head straight. or drift off in opposite directions away from each other. Either way it's a pretty funny visual. I like how your mind works.

or just keep pushing on each other and never get anywhere!

Speaking of door jams...I nailed one so hard one day...I flew backwards and landed on my backside. Took awhile to know what hit me!
