Re: An observation...

Those ads always good for a laugh. Some glossy photos of patient X with MS since such and such a date doing something really boring like putting luggage in the car to go on a road trip. What a joke. What I take away from those ads too is that there are now options. Options that perhaps were not ther...

Re: Who to tell...and when? any ideas?

I told my boss because I trusted him well enough not to share it. I did not tell even one of my co-workers. Who wants to be second guessed every time you just make a stupid mistake. Right? The reason I did this was a MS friend of mine shared a story where at his place of employment HR started an inv...

Re: MS and platelet count

No, but MS being considered somewhat of an auto-immune disease many people with MS have higher incidences of all sorts of things. ITP could be one of them. I was pointed towards Copaxone because it does not have any negative effects on platelet count. And from time to time my platelet dips down. So ...

Fundraising Ideas

I was diagnosed with MS three years ago. This will be my third ride with the Houston-to-Austin MS150 as a way of saying, "you don't have me just yet..." The ride raises 15+ million dollars each year for the National MS Society. Us MS'ers are a crafty bunch. What are some great ideas you ca...
