Now 2018 and my balance is...

Stressed? Anxious? Laughter may be the medicine you need. According to Bennett and Lengecker (2006), “The concept that humor or laughter can be therapeutic goes back to biblical times and this belief has received varying levels of support from the scientific community at different points in its hist...

Nervous with a touch of vulnerability.

I shouldn’t be nervous but I am. I have a neuro appointment in two hours. I was CIS for years. My last MRI before this new one was five years ago (this showed numerous lesions) I had had mild symptoms for nearly 9 years off and on. But starting late this summer I started getting worse. Dizziness, le...
