In the Beginning...

I have decided to start this blog for several reasons. Mostly it will be a communication tool for friends and family to keep up with my activities, the latest with my health and current treatment. It is not that I can't or won't talk to those who know me in person. But the life of an MS'er can change from day to day or hour to hour, especially when having an exacerbation of symptoms. And quite frankly I suffer from fatigue as is (as do many MS patients) so having to keep everybody up to date individually would be exhausting. I thought this would be a great way to tell the story one time, and my friends and family can keep up with me by checking in at their convenience and then when I see them or talk to them our visit won't be dominated by the "latest" on my health (which could go on for hours at times) and I could just enjoy their company. This blog won't just be about my health, or just about MS, it will be about ME and my life, and topics of my interest. But, as anyone with MS knows, when you have MS it is often a daily struggle just to make sure MS doesn't have you, so there will be a significant amount of material here relating to Multiple Sclerosis. Maybe I will meet some new friends along the way as well, who knows, this is the internet after all. If you have any comments, questions, or ideas as this blog develops feel free to shoot me an email at fallcreekfun@gmail.com.
