Marie - eternal optimist............where would the world be w/out people such as yourself........to remind the rest of us what the word courage means. Namaste - the spirit in me honors the spirit in you.
I have been lucky (I have a tattoo on my leg, that reminds me) - I was diagnosed w/ MS in 2000. I live outside of Chicago and have access to some of THE best medical centers in the country, maybe even the world. But, I don't just hand over my health decisions to the Doctors. I pay attention to what my body is telling me and, like you, I stay positive (as possible) because I think this makes a difference. I NEVER "give in" to my disease.

my eyes fill with tears for the suffering you've endured --- and then for the passion and the strength and the fortitude, the courage, for YOU ~ this all overwhelms me. and you are as an inspiration to all - to all that life is so important --- so very important --- delicate and fragile in its existence and I just commend you greatly, highly for your even taking the thoughtful time to acknowledge others here --- while you go through a 'battle' in life that would bring some down to nothingness. God bless you Woman!!!!! (as far as the lowering standards of healthcare...oh don't get me started...I battle this on a daily basis, believe me...We all must --- as you say to get our voices out there and heard) ~ *
please don't tire yourself out --- Love you
