Just before I was diagnosed with MS, I worked sixty hours a week for three years solid.  Sometimes, I miss it.  I miss having the responsibility and the respect.  I am glad that I did that...

With my ms, I have better days than others.  I think today is a good day.

A long time ago, I came to the conclusion that people are born(pediatrician) and they die(mortician), and inbetween they gotta eat.  That is why I became a chef.  Now, I can cook anything.  Now I...

To me, life is all about the experience.  I have seen people who never took a chance on anything just to be safe.  Even now, with ms, I will not stop.  I feel, and my neurologist, that I wiil have...

Exercise is great and it is helping, but even more help is stretching.  Making the muscle groups move in the way that they have before they stopped working(ataxia).  The extreme right side of my...

Sometimes, I just feel better.  I have noticed that come and go for many months now.  I can't complain about improvment, I endorse it.  I have better balance is what I notice.  It comes and goes,...

I heard from the National MS Society that your body does grow new myelin to replace the damaged stuff(the new myelin is not as strong, but at least it is there).  I have also heard that your brain...

Every now and then, I feel some improvment in the parts of my body that have shut down, but then I walk a little and things are not better there.  I don't want to be fooling myself about things...

I have read that raising your body temperature just one degree can make your neural receptors to not work properly. That explains why the sun and heat effects people with MS so much(like me). Air...

A short time ago, I had energy.  Now it has left me.  It is a good thing that I already did some exercising.  Maybe later, my energy level will build up again and I will exercise again.  Exercise...

When I was a kid, my knickname from my father was smiley, because I always had a smile on my face.  I either was happy all of the time, or it was like I knew the punchline of a joke all of the...

I have some moments that are better than others, this is a good one.  I get longer bouts of both good and bad.  Yesterday was a bad day, so this good day may last for a few hours.  The duration...

I hate ms, but I will not let it consume my life.  I walk like I am drunk, so it is impossible to hide(I can barely walk).  There are still things that I can do with MS, but there is also things...

Once again, I don't have a single complaint about the Copaxone injection.  It is a big change in my life, but I have not missed a day.  I figure if a diabetic can do an injection to live, I can...

Somedays I feel better than other days, but it can be some hours are better than others.  I can feel remission coming.
