With the forum down last week, many of you likely missed my latest news unless you get the newsletter. Now I've long preached the importance of getting SET--stretching, exercising and treating. Well, I changed up the acronym because I realized something important was missing: an "A." That's right, I'm telling everyone with multiple sclerosis to take a SEAT. I know, that sounds counterintuitive, like putting peanut butter on your celery. Seriously, who other than your mother thought that was a good idea. But if you have to gag down raw celery, it's shockingly not half bad. Ack, I'm getting sidetracked.
When you've got a disease like MS, you've got to make some adjustments, some little and some big, there's just no getting around it. And there is one adjustment that trumps them all. One adjustment you have to make if you are going to have any chance at getting the upper hand on your multiple sclerosis. And it's the topic of my latest article that was chosen to be the Nov. 16 feature on the popular inspirational website InspireMeToday.
InspireMeToday features a short "pick-me-up" each day (which you can also get by e-mail, iPhone, etc.) and some pretty famous folks, including Sir Richard Branson, have dished some sage advice. Many of their messages are admittedly a bit heavy on the cheese--think Stuart Smalley and his "I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!" mantra. But not to worry, I spiced it up by talking about the potential of getting mauled to death by lions in the Kenyan outback.
So check it out if you have three minutes. Better yet, add your two cents. In theory, if I get a boatload of comments, I'll be featured in other ways and may get a radio interview. I don't give a rat's tail about the personal exposure, but spreading the message of hope, staying active, and the importance of research all matters. And every bit helps.
