*Sherry/smomdukes shares "Growing up Country, Every kid should have to...." She discusses part memory and part recommendation for every kid. Imagine having TV but with only 2 channels, radio which picks up only 1 static-signal religious station, and an Ipod with dead batteries and a General Store which only stocks size C and D batteries. What's a kid to do?
*jeffcats asks you to "Check out my new blog." I did give it a looksee and Jeff has definitely jumped into the MS Blogging Community after being diagnosed at the end of January. Perhaps if we all welcome Jeff to MSCentral, he just might spend some time getting to know our community. Go say hi.
*Julie ponders the nonlinear nature of MS in Why, why, whine. "I feel a little crazed at all the questions that keep running through my mind with no way to get them answered. Where is the dictionary of MS? I need those words and definitions to sum up what's going on and to take the surprises away. I need this MS world defined. But I know this won't happen in my lifetime." Wow, who doesn't feel this way some of the time?
*Sherry/smomdukes discusses being "The Planner." Are YOU ready for July 4th already?
*Sherry/smomdukes also announces that "The Shoulder" is not broken! Yay, but the wall must be terribly hurt. 
*Sherry/smomdukes reminds us to consider the meaning behind "Memorial Day." It's not just about sales and a day off work. Thank and honor all of those who have served our country.
*CWoolly is an artist and new member here at MSCentral who is newly diagnosed. CWoolly will be starting on Rebif this summer and sounds ready to tackle this intruder head on. Do go check out the artwork, my favorites, an angel and seaturtle.
From the Leaders:
*Merely Me starts us off with "A Patient's Perspective on the Doctor Patient Relationship." In this Part Two of a series, Merely Me interviews herself, giving excellent responses. She also poses questions to you, the community. What do you feel are essential components of fostering a good doctor patient relationship?


Boy we have a lot going on in our community. When it is put on paper before us, we MS'rs are some busy people. We do have lives!
Can I just hit the hot spots as to what Lisa has already done. Ladygraycloud, you have taken that leap of faith, you have gotten into the Shands program "At a Girl" something new a exciting, many are on the waiting list, but you are in. Now it is not going to be without trials and tribulations, but it will be worth it in the end. Who knows you may be the one, who will help all of us in the end, Never say Never/ Keep your head up, we will hold you up here!
Jeffcats, I must admit I have been slack I have not checked out your blog yet, but I am ging to this weekend, it is at the top of my to do list. Everyone should make an effort to do this, and welcome Jeff to our community, our home. Welcome Jeff. Julie, I responded to you, I hope that you read my response, I am with you, I feel you, and I hope that things get better because they will. No one knows the why, but it is ok to whine, we where once productive, people, MS came in oneday and took it away, you have that right to whine, this is the place to do it. Who knows, we may just join in with you
if that is ok be blesses! Vicki talks ablout the dfferent types of MS. For a long time, I did not know what kind I had, until I talked with my doctor, I was thinking MS was MS, boy was I wrong. I have Relasping Remiting, I have had MS since 2004 and I have had only one attack since being DX I consider that blessed. But Vicki had some great information, information I had no idea about, they say you learn something everyday, or you should, I try to.
MerelyMe and the question of the week, I look forward to them every week. This week she was talking about food, this was once my favorite subject, I love to eat, not like I use to though. I do believe that the food we eat has a lot to do with our health. From the news: Health Insurance:
Char, I saw where you got your anwser also
Glowing4times, did you get your anwser? tellnheolen the new drug, I think it is still new. Celliac Kid, I am not sure? Stewie, have you talked with your doc about your white blood count? Logger, get your nuero to explain your MRI to you, I would. Now about the Sexual Desfunction. It is a MS thing. MS does this to us. It is not us ladies & gentleman. Your doctor can give you meds, or there are other ways. Natural ways, fun ways.....
It takes effort and understanding. We did not ask for this it was put on us. I went through this, not knowing what was wrong, until my nuero explained what was happening to me. She made some suggestions. She could have given me more meds, which I did noit want or another way, I choose the other way. Guess what, it worked, and my husband and I had fun trying it all out.......
Always an issue, very expensive, unattainable but needed, our meds are so expensive. I take Beta. Without Insurance it cost $2500.00 per month don't hve it. I would have to stop taking it. There are many of us who have questions that we ask, Linda and her husband; I hope things get better for you Linda, Becca, How is your friend? John, does your leg feel better? Steph how are the swimming lessons going with the lady that has ms? Just2tired, I see you got your anwser, I am glad!
