Health

Just a random question. Does anybody suffer from paper-thin skin that even with the slightest touch seems to peel away? I don't know if this is Multiple Sclerosis related or not. However, it's problematic. My legs have a lot of scarring all over them.

I can’t express the importance of an awesome diet. I have had ms since 1992ish and have been able to keep m...

Healthcare Advice?

Today is one of those days the thought of returning ANY pharmacy, insurance, MD calls, etc. feels like it weighs 10,000 lbs. Does anyone have a good strategy for managing your healthcare in a way that it doesn’t feel all consuming?
