An MS’er revisits a candy store Friends, due to a crazy week and a prediction of no internet for a few days, I am posting this week’s blog early. And also due to the above, it is a repeat from this time last summer. Luckily the humidity hasn’t been as bad this August but … Read more here…
Multiple Sclerosis meets the insect world This week’s blog is not for the squeamish. Since I, myself, am terribly squeamish, it is not even for me. But I am completely freaking out about something so I decided I would share it with all of you, so you can freak out too. Multiple sclerosis symptom … Read more here…
MS Wipeout Fido pushed me. Fido is the name of my portable air conditioner that lives as my personal puppy during the summer months.

Although their flowering tastes likely go to something masculine like a braided money tree or a Venus fly trap (both of which are actually plants but so what?) Men enjoy … Read more here…
A multiple sclerosis road trip My sister Laurie was not feeling well. Our neurologist was able to squeeze her into an emergency appointment. Since our neurologist does not practice in a concrete, congested, horribly difficult to navigate city, I was able to drive her there. But before we began the one hour and 45 minute … Read more here…
