Aw Brain, ***** away, you have every right. The unemployment rate in our state is just awful. I hate reading the newspaper anymore because all gloom and doom about layoffs and closings.

For whatever reason my MS symptoms seem to act up more in the fall and winter. Just had an episode with my eyes last weekend reminiscent of my initial exacerbation. Thank goodness it only lasted for a few minutes.

Please take it easy and no more falls!

Oh, and about those margaritas, as AC/DC would say, "Have a Drink on Me"!

Geez Brain, let's have a margarita party! I'll pour!

Maybe you should get that MRI before he gets laid off. Don't you get COBRA?

Hey Cath! Well, I fall into the Winter stinks category w/you. I seem to have more sx's in the colder weather. My legs seem to be less steady once I get chilled. Spring cannot come soon enough for me.

Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry about your DH's job situation. Hope it's just temporary~~

Take care of yourself and sending


PS~~ I like salt on my glass rim, please!!!

AAAAWWWW Brain,
D***, it 's true, what they sing - sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield. Hope everything gets better. I hate winter and relly hate those bumps in the road that can't be avoided. Pour a Margirita for me too. Salt please.

I know my spasticity is worse in the winter so that definitely ups the pain level. Other things are worse for me in the summer. So, I guess I'm a mixed bag.

I'm so sorry you are feeling so crappy and that DH is getting laid off, too. Sometimes it just feels like the bad stuff just keeps coming at you. I feel like I've been on the four year plan of "life sucks" myself.

I am resolving this year to take better care of myself and I know you are like me in that you put yourself at the bottom of your "to do list". Well, sister, you and I have to move ourselves up to the top of that list.

Margaritas all around. I like mine on the rocks with salt, please.

***** away! Nothing like letting it out to those who can understand exactly how your days have been going. All this and the fear of an impending lay-off would drive anyone to drink!

Where is that cabanna boy when you need him?!?

As for me, winter brings on certain issues; summer brings on or aggravates others.
