Members connected over the challenges of foot drop and fainting related to MS, with one member sharing a serious fall that led to a broken ankle, emergency surgery, and a month-long hospital and rehab stay. Several members offered helpful tips including wearing an AFO brace, doing physical therapy, using a walking staff for a third point of contact, slowing down while walking, and widening your stance for better balance. A recurring theme was leaning on support from family and community, with many members encouraging one another to keep going and do what they can.
