A repeat of the wacky multiple sclerosis road trip The last couple of weeks in July have been very busy and my already foggy brain has been too foggy to come up with something new.  The foggy weather hasn’t helped either.  Please accept this repeat blog post today instead of some creatively brilliant musing that … Read more here…

H2O a Go, Go

Multiple Sclerosis Advice You may think today’s blog is another one that has me whining about my obnoxious bladder. Well, it’s not.
