Likewise, a person diagnosed today, or within the past few years, has had and will have a very different life with the disease than I have had. MS service organizations are constantly trying to figure out to best serve the population of people living with this disease and are now beginning to understand that part of the answer is a generational approach as this generation of people living with multiple sclerosis is having a very different time of it. I often think that my aged group of MS is the most “uptight” about our condition. We’re still working (or trying to), often try to hide our disease, and fight it as muc...

I don’t believe a day passes without life pitching something in my face which I know my body cannot handle. There is always dirt, dust, laundry, empty shelves and hunger. I’ve learned after many years some parts of my life are gone forever. Others, I have reclaimed in some form or shape but it is all different, changed. I am different because of the many changes in my physical shell which I drag around, also known as my body. I have to always remind myself it’s not the real me. I am my spirit, my love received and given, my laughter and my joy, often in truly bizarre circumstances. Some of us are blessed to be born “smart asses.” Awe, come on, and admit it. Some days ...

The presentation has gotten a lot of views and downloads, but not a lot of votes for the contest. Be Healthy 4 Life View more presentations from Kirsti Dyer MD, MS. This presentation was developed as a patient and student education resource for younger students, high school students, college students and adult patients. In the presentation the common steps that people should follow to life a healthy life are included. More Information: Dyer K. Be Healthy 4 Life.

Mind you, I've given three months notice and have a lot to do before I leave, but notice is notice in my book. For me, leaving a job is always fraught with tension and anxiety. In my years as a nurse, there has developed this pattern of feeling indispensable at work, that my leave-taking is a burden, and that I must give it my all to make the transition as easy as possible for my employer. Friends and family remind me that people leave jobs every day with no more than 2 weeks' notice, and people are laid off with barely enough time to clean out their desks. Still, I carry a great deal of responsibility in my job and want to do the right thing to prepare for my successor. Since the arrival of H1N1 influenza, everyone seems ...

Jaz on what it’s been like in Illinois on a 49-year-old younger brother who was “on a waiting list for a home for 20 years after contacting an advocate he got one of the two places that 52 people were waiting for.” Regan adds to a discussion on the MMR controversy and notes an interview with Ben Goldacre.

The IACC met this past Monday, May 12 in Washington, D.C. I had attended the November 2007 meeting and learned a great deal and was hoping to attend this May meeting. Jim had an event planed Monday night—-and then Jim heard that the event was (maybe) not going to happen, so I wrote a statement and submitted it and thought I might go, and then Jim heard that the Monday event might happen. Our Mother’s Day weekend was busy and a bit intense at times and I found myself one moment looking up train tickets on Amtrak and the next realizing that it was Sunday night and I hadn’t planned far en...
