So no surprise, Day 2 didn't go so well.  I made it to bed at 11:15, but half an hour later, I was in my familiar insomnia spot on the family room couch.  Two steps forward, three steps back. But it wasn't a total loss.  Like a team after a loss, I'm looking back over what happened and figuring out what could have contributed to my less-than-successful result.  It wasn't hard to find some … [Read more...] about Lessons Learned

I haven't been feeling myself lately.  At times I walk steadily, other times, no.  My normally tingly left hand has been curling up lately.  I'm feeling worn out, anxious, frustrated. But I can't blame MS for it all. Earlier this weekend, when I'm whimpered about being tired, I accepted my responsibility for that.  It's not just MS.  Sure, fatigue is a common MS symptom.  The pain and … [Read more...] about The ME Project

Hello, I'm Amy, and it's been too long since my last post. Hi Amy. Too many reasons why I haven't posted, but finally something has happened that I can't just sit quietly by without putting in my two cents.  I called into a local radio station to talk about this but had to stop listening to the radio before they aired my comments.  If you don't hear them aired, have they really been … [Read more...] about A Whole New World For Scamming

This week has been MS Awareness Week, and I've been dealing with a lot of "shoulds".  I should do my part to increase awareness.  I should do my part to get others involved in the fight.  I should educate others by educating folks on a daily basis, so the blog should have a lot of new entries this week.  But I didn't. You see, I'm like Caesar, and I beware the Ides of March - March 15.  That … [Read more...] about A Dubious Anniversary
