so there's this random black bear wandering around my work. several confirmed sightings now. and we're hiking the canyon again tomorrow. so yeah. i brushed up on what to do in case of a bear encounter, but i'm just counting on my group being noisy enough to keep this guy at a distance, and i'm going to train the kids as well before we start.

The symptoms that most likely suggested it at the time were my cog-fog, vertigo, slurred speech and 'unnatural happiness'. The first three are direct symptoms, but the last one is usually just me trying to get people to stop feeling sorry for me.

Video is easier for me as my eyes won't tolerate a lot of reading, but I know a lot of MS'ers read an ...

Hello, I am new here. I was diagnosed with MS a few weeks ago. I woke up one day and the left half of my body was very weak. I could hardly move my leg. I limped around for a week thinking that any day it would get better, but it never did. Eventually I went to the emergency room. They did a cat scan and told me I either had had a stroke, had ...
