    This is for anyone who is currently scared out of their shorts

    I'd like to preface this by saying I am a self-proclaimed lurker on this site who also just endured what to me, in my limited little world, would consider to be the worst three weeks of my life. Out of respect for those who have a confirmed dx of this terrible disease, I never did dare to start...

For most of us, that seems to boil down to either a system that straps the wheelchair in (such as QStraint) or one that automatically locks the wheelchair in place (such as the EZlock)...

    Nervous wreck.

    Hello. I'm a 26 year-old female. I went to ENT for possible ear issues because of light-headedness and HOH. He ordered MRI with contrast. All looked perfect. He did however mention the possibility of MS which of course freaked me out and I began to panic. I then started noticing muscle twitches...

    Pride goeth before a fall. A cautionary tale.

    As a young man I thought I had a pretty good handle on "pride". I was proud of my country. I wasn't blind, mind you. I did live through Vietnam, but overall I thought that Americans were kind, creative and resourceful. I was proud of having served. I was a med lab tech in the USAF and VA...
