Id love to tell you I came out of yesterday’s round table discussion group enlightened with tons of new information, but I can’t. I unfortunately didn’t learn all that much. This is what I took away that I feel was note worthy. Dr. Krieger’s Leaky Pool analysis of MS. He created an app for an iPad and it’s only for an iPad. If you search for MS topography, you can download the app for free. …
I’m attending a discussion group today for people with multiple sclerosis or care givers of people with multiple sclerosis. It’s a round table discussion group that is lead by two different MS doctors. Many years ago, I was a patient representative for the drug Gilenya. I use to tell my MS story to a group of people either before or after the guest doctor would discuss MS and how the drug worked. I must admit it was a lucrative deal for…
I could have picked many songs today, I’m a huge fan of Linkin Park. I read on songfacts.comhttp://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=26591 Like most of the songs on Living Things, the song’s lyrical content can be interpreted in several ways. Chester Bennington explained to MTV News: “When Mike was talking about the lyrics, at one point he had said, ‘You know, it’s kind of like finding yourself as this broken part of this big machine, and feeling like you’re not part of that, or…
I worked out yesterday for the first time in a month. I was trying to really give my shoulder the time to heal, as recommended by my orthopedic doctor and my physical therapist. I’ve been suffering for almost a year now with tendonitis. My last appointment with the doctor was in early June and I received another cortisone shot. The shots definitely help but can only be given once every 3-4 months and even then is not a great solution….
I found this recipe on the beachbody blog.Every exercise program I do, except Zumba, is from Beachbody. I just did Cize this morning with Shaun T but P90X will always be my favorite.

A little over a year ago, I took a pet safety class that actually certified me for two years in basic pet safety. In the class we learned how to muzzle a dog when they were hurt, basic first aid procedures, how to help a choking dog and even dog CPR. However, the most valuable lesson I learned in that class was what is absolutely poisonous to dogs and how to induce them to throw up if they ingest something…
I finally picked up a book to read. Actually I picked up my kindle but the act is the same. I use to fly through books. I read all the time. Not as a child., more as an adult. It started when my daughter was small watching the same dumb shows or movies on TV, over and over and over and over again. I’d sit with her and read. When I took over my last position at my job, I…
Well found another thing that can no longer be on my list of things I can do, get drunk. Since the last time I actually consumed a lot of alcohol, other than wine, was over 2 years ago, I had no idea. I went out for dinner with my friend last night and had a very, very dirty martini, my new drink choice. No big deal if I had one, might not have been an issue if I stopped at…
Years ago I participated in a multiple sclerosis activity sponsored at the same physical therapy office I go to now. My main physical therapist started the program 17 years back and became the multiple sclerosis therapist of the office. I attended this program he started once and only once. Why? Every person in attendance was in a wheelchair. I was only 2-3 years into my disease and couldn’t face that, wouldn’t face that, so I never went back. Instead I…
