Here is the link to an online magazine that printed an article regarding Multiple sclerosis. Thought some of you would relate to it.

Good article Cynthia, thanks for sharing.

I especially like the part about "text me a story, about something
happening in the outside world, so I may feel a part of things.

BTW, I hope you don't mind my sharing your story with others.

Mind? I am thrilled that the subscribers at Care2.com have shared it on Facebook, twitter, and Pinterest. A woman from the Uk commented and some person commented in another language!

So cool. I am a "published" writer!

Excellent article! You touched on so many points that are often not addressed. This is such a good piece to give to others who may not know how to relate to those of us with MS.

Not only are you a "published Writer", you're a darn good one too .
Keep writing. You most certainly have the gift.

With love, Erika

Wonderful article!! I hung my head in shame when I read how you feel about others who would rather die than end up in a wc-I've stated this more than once, and I am ashamed...I am trying very hard to look at the preciousness of every day, every breath the way you seem to. It is difficult when you have pain involved but there is something in every day to be grateful for. Concentrating on that is what keeps us going, isn't it?

thanks again for sharing this...it opened my eyes to see I need a major attitude adjustment.

Cynthia - thank you for this. It's going to Mom who would, she says, rather die than use a scooter or a walker.

I've told her it's a tool to keep her mobile but "she wouldn't be caught dead in one." That may happen. She is an 88 y/o heart patient.

Snippet from today- I'm on the bed w 2 cats while the house is being cleaned.)

Regards,
ANN
