change in MS ideas

I was diagnosed in 2006 with 'agressive' MS. I was told at the time I had the 'viking' disease (which I thought was pretty cool 🙂), told that it was people in the northern hemisphere that got it ( vit D deficiency), people from hot countries didn't-even people with darker skin didn't (&I know now ...

Continued frustration and pain

I went to my appointment this week at Duke University. After talking with the Dr I didn’t leave feeling better or validated. I’m not a hypochondriac and I’m tired of chasing for someone to hear me and give me a professional opinion instead of well I don’t know exactly what is going on. Let’s run all...

I’m reading the health comments and how is that skunk weed marijuana are supposedly coming from Mexico in every country around the world I don’t believe that Mexico was shipping it to every country around the world is this government I’m just curious cause it seems like that would be a government thing but then why them that would be horribly shameful and how does some countries have it illegal although it’s being shipped in is that fair to punish the people for what they get? I don’t believe it is it should be legal around the world if they’re shipping it around the world shouldn’t it? Especially when it’s a lot of people with health problems using it diabetes, a lot of autoimmune disorders lotta stomach problems and it’s kind of weird how it’s so helpful and yet the government uses it to punish people it makes no sense?
