Response to our travel section. (Readers Write).


I have been traveling a way not mentioned in InsideMS. I have traveled 10,000 miles on the back of my husband's motorcycle! We got our current bike about a year ago because we thought it might be more comfortable for me than our old one. It is! Some days, my legs ache so much from riding, but the feeling is so free!

Hopefully, if my MS remains stable, I will get my own bike and feel the wind from the front seat instead of the back!
