December Update on Heuga Center Goal

Well I just got off the phone with Can Do Multiple Sclerosis (formerly the Heuga Center for Multiple Sclerois). I will go in 2010 if they have a spot open for me. I have to complete the application for the program and submit it, which I am going to try to work on this week. I am hopeful they will grant me a scholarship for the program. I see that they have one scheduled for May 2010 in California. If there isn't anything else scheduled I would gladly take that one, but I will have to figure out how to get there. I will not fly on an airplane anymore unless I am fleeing for my life from some calamity- the last few times I have flown I have had excruciating head and ear pain to the point of involuntarily crying. A lot. To the point of embarassment. This was before I knew I had MS. I thought I was just a weenie. Turns out I wasn't. I would imagine I will look at Amtrak to get out west unless someone want to drive me that far.

About My Blog

This is my personal blog. It details my own personal experiences with MS, as well as other ramblings about my life. I am NOT a medical professional and cannot offer advice or opinions of a medical nature. If you need medical atention, please contact a physician or, in emergencies, your nearest hospital emergency room. MS has many faces, and every single patient has his or her own unique experiences and challenges.

The links I provide are things I think may be of interest to those with MS or their friends and family for further research, and does not constitute an endorsement.

Walk MS 2011 Underway!

The WalkMS 2011 campaign is underway! I will be participating as a Walk Captain for the Anderson Area Taking Strides team at the WalkMS event for the East Central Indiana group. The Walk will be held on April 16, 2011 at Worthen Arena on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie.

We would love to have your support. Please join us for the walk! You may participate in several ways, including walking with us, raising funds, donating in any number of ways. The proceeds from the walk help support MS patients and their families in many ways, including local support groups, many programs through local and state chapters of the NMSS, and direct assistance programs for those in financial need.

MS can be financially devastating, and there are many patients and families in need. You may donate right now by clicking here. Thank you! Hope to see you there!
