Calgon, Take Me Away!

Well, it’s 4:11AM and I can’t sleep. And I’m freezing. Arctic cold, actually. It is my own fault. Last week I went away on an eight day vacation to a lake house in Maine. It was lovely. I guess that I wanted to “get away” from everything and purposely didn’t pack my medicine. ... Read more Chevron

All I want to do is rest and occasionally lift my hand with my TV remote control. I woke up this morning to see if any cable TV marathons were running. Bad sign. ... Read more Chevron

Mystery Under the Hood: The Importance of Your Checkups

Once again, I was reminded of the importance of MS maintenance. The value of not postponing doctor visits because "I feel fine". Recently, I noticed a lingering burning smell in my basement by my water heater. My husband suggested that we get our home's chimney swept. What I thought would be a twenty-minute, under a...
