That was an excellent letter!

I hope they demoted that reporter down to cleaning toilets.

Default follow up
The Knox News printed my story as a follow up to the grossly wrong one that they printed on April 6. You can go to knoxnews and search on Ice Bears MS and you will find a link to the story. I tried to put the link here but it wouldn't let me.
Sorry
Kathy

That was a good article... Lot better than the one where they were implying that MS causes insanity.

I'm posting the link...I checked it before hitting the Submit Reply button to make sure the link works.

Wow, that article was written by the same reporter? It's like night and day, so much better! Thanks for doing the interview, Kathy, every little bit makes a big difference.

I think the author doesn't have a good understanding of what they were trying to write about.

His reaction doesn't necessarily have to do with the medicine. He could have had a leison in a part of the brain that brought on this behavior.

It would really take medical professionals doing some testing on him to confirm what has happened to him. Not someone writing an article on MS or depression.

I think stuff like this only adds to the confusion. We who have MS know it effects all of us differently.

This story is such a tradegy.
