  • Something is wrong.

    Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    OK this is the third time in a few weeks that I have gotten sick to my stomach. I don't think it's the flu. I went out one night, ate mexican seafood and drank a wine that I have never heard of. I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

    So today I had a dental appointment in Portland at 10 am.  I went there (after my triple strong Peets coffee) and sat down in the waiting room.  Across from me was a man probably in his late fifties, somewhat small of stature, not really attractive.  He had a modest "Fro", and he was white.  He had male pattern baldness, so the "Fro" loo...

  • Tattoos and MS

    Saturday, January 24, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    Has anybody ever noticed that there seem to be just as many people that ask about having tattoos with MS, as there are people that ask about having sex with MS? Are tattoos that f'n great that this is what weighs on a person's mind when they get diagnosed? Does MS affect that much white trash?
