Happy Friday, What that mindset, is unique for you. You just must get to the point that you accept that you have MS & it’s not going away, but neither is your life so you need to figure out how to make yourself feel better & enjoy your life. Enjoy the day, Ray
Well, Its about time. 400,000 people in US with MS revisited.
Happy Thursday, The MS community has stopped saying that MS is an orphan disease. The study said around 400,000 people in the US have MS. My educated guess that it’s over 1 million. The original number is based on a study done in 1975, over 40 years ago! The NMSS is curently doing a new […]
Get your head on straight

Always be Safe
Happy Sunday, Yesterday, I was supposed to ride in the Cape Cod BikeMS event. It was raining with torrential downpours so I opted to volunteer for my Team Velox Rota instead.
