Ooo.. I forgot to add, I also received two books from the MS Expo today and one of them was MS: 300 tips for Making Life Easier. I haven't had a chance to really read it but I thought that would be a good thread for people to write some MS tips that they found useful.

Some tips:

1. It will be easier to pull slacks up and down if you wear underwear made of nylon instead of cotton.
2. Sometimes its easier to grasp a doorknob if you wind several rubberbands around the largest part of the doorknob.
3. Replace traditional light switches with rocker-panel switches that can be turned off with your arm or elbow.
4. Substitute a washcloth with a sponge or wash mitt which are easier to use if your hands are weaker.
5. If turning over or changing sleeping positions in bed is difficult, consider pushing the side of the bed up against the bedroom wall and installing a railing or grab bar on the wall. Anchor the railing to a stud and install it at the height that makes turning easier.
