Blog Anniversay

One year ago I began this blog. My symptoms decided to celebrate by flaring up on me. I would have preferred a cake.

As I have stated before, ( first post) my main reason for starting a blog, was to have a day to day journal to record everything that was happening to me with MS. Unlike the photo above, I never thought of it as my own mike to tell the world my story .My own soap box to spew my opinions.
Not that I'm saying you shouldn't do that. That's the beauty of blogging. You can do whatever you want.

One of the benefits of having an MS blog, has been the knowledge I've acquired, and for that I have to thank all the MS bloggers out there. You have helped so much to give me a better understanding of my condition. How to cope with it, what might happen, what won't.

I really helpswith the frustrations of MS And it's So ! frustrating!

So all you MS bloggers out there. Thanks for a great year of helping me survive this crazy MS life. You are a decent bunch.
Oh and Thanks to the folks who take the time to stop and post comments. I've published everyone, so don't be shy . I enjoy all opinions as long as you keep them reasonably clean.

Wonder where we'll all be next year?

Work Update and a Survey

Strange happenings at work today. Seems like the bosses want to be nice to me now.
I'll be doing a new (different) job at the same pay and responsibility level, however much less number crunching and stats to do. I'll be able to do some work at home as well. One boss telling me about a recent article in Family Circle, about MS, that she found so informative. I'll have to check that one out.

Could that be what made them have a change of heart ? Nah ! I think they are very ambitious and don't want this situation to screw up their careers. I was very gracious accepting their apologies even though I wanted to say : "Why didn't you do this from the beginning ?"

Did a survey for this place
General questions about blogging and internet health sites. A PhD student is doing research on internet health services. One question I found interesting :They asked if my doctor recommends a treatment and my network of bloggers says it's not helpful, would I listen to the doctor or the bloggers? I said neither, since I don't seem to be following the mainstream path . I'm skeptical of the doctors, and I find too many MS bloggers are over enthusiastic about drugs I don't think work. Not that I'm putting down anybody down. We all have to choose our own way.

Now I'm dead tired and will indulge in cultural narcotics. Have some movies to watch.
