My five minutes of fame. ?. My little write up about how I’ve benefited from the MS Foundation https://msfocus.org/ came out this month. My writing was split on two pages so it was difficult to picture for you to read but I did my best. Pretty neat. First time my words and certainly my picture has ever been published. Btw I’m Jamie from Freeport just in case you missed that part ?

This month they had a few interesting articles on new MS research I thought I’d enclose. https://msfocus.org/About-Us/MSF-News-Articles/167 A new study shows an overlooked source may be able to replace lost nerve insulation and provide a new way to treat multiple sclerosis.
