Here is an article from Medical News Today explaining the different stages of MS.

The Four Courses Of Multiple Sclerosis

There are 4 courses of the disease. In each case, the MS may be mild, moderate or severe.

Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS): Over 80% of patients start off with this type.

• Relapsing – there are acute and unpredictable “exacerbations” (acute attacks, also called “flare-ups”). During this period symptoms get worse.
• Remitting – and then there are periods of full or partial recovery. Sometimes there is no recovery.
• The attacks may evolve over days or even weeks, and recovery can take weeks, or even months. In between the attacks there is calm, and symptoms do not worsen.

Primary-Progressive MS (PPMS): About 15% of patients have this type.

• There are no clear relapses or remissions.
• The progression of the disease is steady.
• It is the most common form of MS in those who develop the disease after 40 years of age.

Secondary-Progressive MS (SPMS):

• Starts off as a relapsing-remitting type of MS. Relapses and partial recoveries occur.
• However, in between cycles the disability does not go away.
• Eventually it becomes a progressive disease with no cycles.
• The progressive stage may start very early on, years, or even decades later.

Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS): The least common form.

• Symptoms worsen progressively, steadily
• There are acute attacks. Some recovery may follow, or may not.
• In the early stage, it seems the patient has primary progressive MS.

My 3rd Act of Kindness was 5 meals for our neighbor down the way who is fighting breast cancer for the second time. I wanted to give something to make things easier for her and her husband during this time. What better than meals already cooked just needing to be heated up!

Keep fighting!

My 2nd Act of Kindness was to the Dream Big Girls Club at Hessed House in Aurora. The group currently consists of 10 girls. The girls were able to go back to school shopping with donations given. When they got back to Hessed House, the gift bags of “Beauty Items” was there! In them had shampoo, body wash, a loofa, nail polish, hair ties, lip gloss, toothbrush, and toothpaste.

Gena (pictured below) started this group and does such wonderful things for the children at Hessed House. She is an inspiration to me! Thanks Gena for all you do!

The National MS Society has revamped their website. This organization is just amazing and offers so much. Take a look at their new site.

Invest in Yourself. It is a simple, matter of fact statement that you all need to do.

Investing in yourself will help improve your life in many ways. Do not look at it as being selfish or not worthy. You are. You need to take care of yourself in order to take care of others.

So invest in you in the following ways…

Gym Membership

Get your booty moving and do physical activity( at your health ability) as often as you can. When you pay for a membership it almost motivates you more to go.

Books

Go to bookstore, order books or kindle books online, or go to your local library. Always keep reading what you like and books that improve you! Speaking of books, you can order A Meaningful Life with MS here! http://marciviland.com/

Fitness DVD’S

If you are not able to make it to a gym, buy workout dvd’s that you can do at home. There are ones with weights, body weight actions, yoga, pilates, chair yoga, meditation, you name it, it’s out there for you.

Massage

Everyone needs to keep your muscles and body loose. Massage is the best way to do this. We also need quiet, down time to renew our minds and bodies.

Fruits and Vegetables

Don’t forget these important items into your diet. Instead of crap, buy these! You and your body will thank you in the long run. A cheat every once in a while is not a bad thing though too.  Just not all the time.

Vitamins/ Supplements

Find out from your doctor what vitamins and supplements are best for you and your overall health. Buy well rated, high quality ones to get the most out of them.

Any area of interest

Find what makes you happy and concentrate your investment of money to that instead of pointless things that make you unhappy. Take a deep down conscience look at what makes you happy and do that!

These are just a few of things to invest in! So go invest in yourself today!
