For this post I will be continuing my discussion on MS and more specifically treatments that many MS patients are currently using. At present time there is no cure for MS, however several medications and therapies are being used to modify the course of the disease, treat relapses or flare-ups, manage symptoms and to improve a patients function and safety. Used in conjunction with each other

I will be talking a little about what MS is, what some of the symptoms are and what some of the current treatments are that MS patients are using.MS is considered a chronic disease which attacks the central nervous system (CNS) which includes the brain, the

Ok, so on to my epic adventure. While in Michigan I started chatting online with the little known program called Yahoo Chat, yes I used to chat it up on there all the time, lol. Anyway I had met lots of very cool people on there and for quite a while there were a group of us that always hung out. One of those people is now my wife, Cherie.

For this post I am going to talk a little about my background. I was born in Medford Oregon, which is where most of my family still lives, after living there for a few years, until about 2nd grade I believe, my mother and I moved to Reno Nevada. I was raised by my mom as my father left before I was born, I met him around age 20 and he claimed to not know about me but my mother swears he did,
