No one knows for sure what causes MS and so far there isn't a cure.<br />
I have the Progressive kind of Ms and I have the heat sensitivity, the fatigue and my right leg drag from partial paralysis. But I am lucky since I retired 11 years ago at age 53, my MS hasn't progressed. It's all about the immune system that was damaging the nerves in my brain causing scars, which interrupted the nerve that serves my right leg.<br />I think staying active help keep it at bay, I ride my incumbent bike, 45 minutes twice a day, i swear it keeps my MS from progressing. I ride my indoor incumbent bike 45 minutes twice a day and Swim laps twice a week and I swear to stay active is helping. Also, 70 percent of people with MS get depression, I'm far from that, I think staying active and resting to fight fatigue is helping me keep the MS from progressing.<br />
Check out MS World site it was started by a woman with MS who lives in Eugene Oregon. And MS Society and the MS Foundation where you can get up to date progress on medications and treatments, and you can post a question on one of their blogs.<br />
Keep active and it's time to take care of you now.<br />

My supervisor and friend Nancy took me to this lecture on the stages of dying. Nancy and I worked at the Yaquina Care Center in Newport. This lecture changed the way I looked at death and to this day explains why people, as they die, are processing and going through distinct phases.<br />

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", helvetica, sans-serif;">The Trump Administration released its Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Budget Request on Feb. 12. This document outlines the Administration's spending and revenue priorities for the next decade. Among the many proposed cuts of concern to the disability community are:</span></span></div>

<li><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Medicaid </strong>would be drastically cut through per capita caps and block grants.

From my profile page:<br />
I grew up in Wisconsin and moved up to mid-WI to live on a farm near Marion. I learned how to live off the land, growing our own food and milking goats, raising bees and we had lots of dogs and cats.<br />
I became a tree camp cook for a crew of tree planters and worked all over the south, seeing the beauty of the forests in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. I then moved West to Oregon to work as a forester apprentice working all over in Oregon's national forest. My work took me into wilderness areas near John Day and to the Wallowa Mountains near Joseph Oregon.<br />
I lived the life of a nomad, moving our camp every few weeks whenever we finished taking inventory of the forests trees, shrubs, and grasses.<br />
I eventually came back to social serves and landed a job at the University of Oregon Semi-Independent Living Program as an outreach worker providing support to a dozen developmentally disabled adults living in their own apartments. The non-profit was formed and the birth of Oregon Supported Living Progam occurred and it turned out to be the top progressive agency in the Northwest. It was rather ironic that I became disabled myself by Multiple Sclerosis and was forced to retire.<br />
So one day I pulled down a box of my journals and started reading. I found them amusing and started writing them up into three books. "From the Waters of Coyote Springs" was about my forestry days. "Felix and Eve" is about when Eve finds a job as a live-in caregiver for a man recovering from by-pass surgery. He hires her for the summer. He's a grumpy person who she eventually smooths like the stones in the river. He tells her stories every night while they play cards. He tells her about the good old days when he worked for the notorious gangster Al Capone.<br />
The third book "The Arrangement" is about the now retired, baby boomer Eve, who now owns property on Moon Mt in Eugene. Vinnie an old friend lives in his yurt in her backyard. Every year she gets the same letter with the same skeleton key and she flies down to Catalina Island to care for her former lover who has Multiple Sclerosis.<br />
Vinnie stays behind and caretakes her gardens and flower beds. Vinnie is in love with Eve but remains silent.<br />
