All about me! And, more importantly, spreading some awareness!

I love your attitude! Have a great run. I try to live my life with MG the same way. I still surf as much as I can and I am currently on the couch recovering from too much tap dancing.

Thanks!

And thank you for the laugh this morning, even if you didn't mean it. I read too fast and thought you said "lap dancing" at first. Haha

Kudos! I am so glad you are still able to run. I am also glad you had the courage to share this with the world and spread awareness about MG!

I know it is MG awareness month. I feel like I should come clean with the people in my division at work and let them know I have MG and what it is. But I am too afraid of what repercussion it might have for me. I still have a daughter to get through college and don't feel I can financially take the risk.

It's a very personal choice to tell people, and I fully understand why some people choose not to. Ever since I came out as gay a decade ago (wow, has it been that long?!), I also came to the realization that I'm not going to hide myself any longer. It's all just a small piece of who I am, including MG (as much as it wants to dominate, sometimes). And my feelings evolved to the point where I realized, if you don't like me for that one small piece of who I am, then I'm better off without you in my life anyways. It certainly helps that I have a supportive job, co-workers and boss on the work front, and a supportive base of friends and family, otherwise. And because of that openness I have towards my life. I couldn't help but jump at the opportunity to do this article and help spread some of that awareness that MG needs so badly. In fact, I shared it across several other groups and venues I'm in, MG, running, and others, and the feedback I've received has been astounding.
