I haven't posted a Bit in a while. I have made an impromptu excursion to Ladyfingers and Dude's house, which gives me plenty to do.
While fingering through some old photos, I found this, circa 1978:

I feel like I am neglecting an important part of this blog: keeping everyone informed of MS news.I have neglected to update you on the most recent findings involving Vitamin D, MS and your genes.I haven't shared the stories of bone or blood marrow transplants in patients with Relapsing-Remitting MS, and the apparent halting and sometimes near reversal of disease activity!So instead of ignoring this fact, I am here to say that I just can't wrap my brain around the work. In other words, I simply don't have the energy to think. I want to be able to share the information with you, and provide my own commentary as well. I just read the following article 3 or 4 times, I even tried reading from the end first, in an effort to understand it, and summarize it. But I am having no such luck.If you are interested, you can watch this clip from CTV's, "W-Five", regarding controversial and ground breaking MS treatments:Stem cell StoriesAnd if you want to know more about Vitamin D and MS, you can read about it here:Vitamin D and MSOh, and my birthday is in August - not November.Emily

I was very confused this morning as I sat and ate my cereal. I thought that today was Monday. It had to be Monday, Jason was home yesterday, which obviously meant that yesterday was Sunday. Sunday, Monday...shot day. I flipped to the television listings, only to be reminded that today is in fact, Tuesday. I had missed the Dancing With the Stars season premiere last night. Not only that, but I must have also missed my Rebif injection, because today certainly wasn't shaping up to feel like a P.I.D. day. Where was the slight ache in my limbs? Why was I out of bed?Why hadn't I woke up in the night with sore legs?Then I remembered that I did my injection: on a stool in the kitchen. By myself. Icepack within reach. Just me and the teensy weensy needle filled with laboratory mystery serum. Before bed, I popped in 2 ibuprofen.And now it's 23 hours later, and I'm no worse for wear.Somebody please pinch me.Emily
