You're not welcome here any longer.

I wonder if MS could make it big on My Space or Facebook. The next step would be a reality show with MS's friend, Larry the Lesion.

This was a great post...delightful to read and a refreshing change of pace. You are a really good writer...I look forward to reading your posts.

Mandy,

Great post. Very creative. I am forwarding it to someone I know at the MS Society. He deals with a lot of newly diagnosed clients and I think this post would be an most helpful to someone just diagnosed - it gives facts about the disease and shows there is a lot of hope out there.

Thanks.

Kristin
