Tips and Tricks for Improving Multiple Sclerosis

About this website

 

Welcome to HackMyMS. I’m Kristin Hardy and this is my place for sharing the tips and techniques I use for dealing with multiple sclerosis (MS). In 2002, I was diagnosed with primary progressive MS (PPMS). Like a computer, it was something super complicated and expensive that didn’t come with a user manual. If you do anything long enough, though, you get good at it. I’ve had a couple of decades now to get really, really good at living with MS—setting up a treatment regime (for me), discovering useful gadgets, navigating the healthcare industry, and finding the ideal shows to stream during PT (more critical than you might imagine). HackMyMS will cover all the things I wish I’d known back when I was first diagnosed.

You won’t find any discussion of invisible MS (because, not). You won’t find a discussion of essential oils and bee sting therapy (because, science). You won’t find inspiring stories about how MS has somehow made my life better (because, BS).

What you will find is tips and techniques for living with MS. Want to discover exercises and treatments that can make it easier to stand up or walk? Want to fight footdrop or swollen ankles? How about techniques for avoiding UTIs or getting automobile hand controls for free? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Be sure to read my disclaimer—this site is only for news and information, not medical guidance. There is no guarantee that what works for me will work for you (because, snowflake). But read, research, and talk to your doctor. If something you read here works, let me know in the comments. If you find something better, share it in the comments.
