My sister was all excited about this article and she emailed it to me. I think she was a little disappointed with my “wait and see” attitude. Even if it is a correct evaluation of what causes MS, it’ll be years and years of doctors bickering with each other and political posturing before it gets its share of the funding for research. Meanwhile I am more concerned about how the heck I am going to get to the bathroom without breaking my neck.

I hate to seem so negative on this joyful Christmas day, but it is not all bad. If they cure MS in my lifetime, that’ll be great. But either way, I am going to be all right. I've got it covered. My MS has been the source of a million small (and not so small) coping mechanisms. I’ll be fine.
