 Post subject: Blenophobia--Whoops!
PostPosted: Wed Apr 11, 2007 8:09 pm 
I accidentally hijacked the previous thread with this posting--hit the wrong button. Please forgive me, I intended a new topic:


After looking through the forums without finding the perfect fit, I am putting this new (to me, anyway) vocabulary word here. The subject affects the daily life of so many of us!

From a recent AARP publication came this information:

20 million Americans have blenophobia--or fear of needles--according to a recent study.

Shall we make ...

Hi
I can't rem if I posted about this before, may have! - sorry, memory is sometimes a bit ropey. Periodically gets to me....and this is NOT a pity-party-post - I have a very good life - just could do with some constructive advice about this situation.

 Post subject: My possible walk for Myelin repaire Foundation
PostPosted: Wed Feb 28, 2007 7:45 pm 
Hi
Lately I have been feeling like I need to do something in order to make it faster for these researchers to get the money they need to start pumping out the drugs. I wanted to organize a sponsored walk for the myelin Repair foundation. I have actually never done anything like that and don't really know where to start. I did email them a few days ago but have not received a reply. Tried ...

 Post subject: What I'd do differently
PostPosted: Tue Feb 20, 2007 8:21 pm 
Hi All,

I wanted to put a few thoughts down, given what I have read on the other thread about a poor guy breaking up with his girlfriend, over MS and the very strong opinions being expressed by others.
