time for a sing along folks.
pick a song you can associate with ms if you have one. love comfortably numb by pink floyd, very apt at times.

Chumbawamba: I get knocked down
xxxx
I like this little song and video, called “Pins and Needles” by Project Jenny, Project Jan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_GPRhax6xw
It contains the immortal line (if I’ve heard it right): “You['ve] got the gift, you give me paraesthesia”
I’m sure I first encountered it in connection with MS, and had the impression one of the band had MS. But I can’t seem to find anything about it now, so maybe I imagined that part.
It’s certainly odd inspiration for a song, if the writer doesn’t have personal experience of MS.

I have loads but not because of the lyrics just because they remind me of various points on this journey. Lisa Stansfield - All around the World, my first (I think) symptom in 1989, I just knew there was something wrong. Marianne Faithful - As tears go by, during 1989 after first symptom when I was off to see a dr, but got nowhere but by this time I was better anyway. Pulp- Common People in 1995, when I came close to a diagnosis. Coolio - Gangsta’s Paradise, when I was diagnosed at the end of 1995. Four Seasons - December '63, after I was diagnosed and went to hospital for steroids. There are others but won’t bore you any more, I still cringe today when I hear Lisa Stansfield but the others I remember in a more positive light especially Decemver '63 because by that time I had been diagnosed and I was fighting ms and was positive.

Needles and pins by the Searches. X
comfortably numb is a fantastic song. i bought tickets to see roger waters for my husbands birthday last year. he wants it played at his funeral!
my personal ms song is “spasticus autisticus” by ian dury. i sing it to myself when my legs are playing up.
