my stumbles through life with ms
So in my last post in this series, I went over what exactly MS is. In this installment, I’ll be going over some of the different types of MS. MS has four generally recognized courses. There are a few rarer types I’m not covering here in depth. I may be…
Heat intolerance has become a big deal in my household. The temps and humidity sky rocketed around here last weekend – the thermometer may have said 92, but the humidity said it was 110 and impossible to breathe. Obviously, the moment I got outside, I hit a wall of heat…
