I'd Like To Thank The Academy...

I'd like to thank the academy of MS Bloggers as Abby has honored me with the Gratitude with Attitude Award. I would bestow it upon many of the blogs I read, however, I think by this time most everyone has it! So for now I shall display it in my sidebar and say unto you if you do not yet have this award take it if you have Gratitude with Attitude!

I'm sorry that I don't have first hand experience with acupuncture, but my friend recently did it for facial nerve damage after a root canal. She was very pleased with the results. Her brother-in-law did it for anxiety attacks (stressful job)and recommended it to her.

That party looks fun--- I really like the Staples Easy Button!; October 22, 2008

For those who don't know MS first hand - An Important Excerpt from Wikipedia on MS:

The person with MS can suffer almost any neurological symptom or sign, including changes in sensation (hypoesthesias and paraesthesias), muscle weakness, muscle spasms, or difficulty in moving;^[15] difficulties with coordination and balance (ataxia);^[15] problems in speech (dysarthria) or swallowing (dysphagia),^[16] visual problems (nystagmus, optic neuritis, or diplopia),^[17] fatigue, acute or chronic pain,^[18]^[19] and bladder and bowel difficulties.^[19]^[20] Cognitive impairment of varying degrees and emotional symptoms of depression or unstable mood are also common.^[21]^[22] The main clinical measure of disability progression and symptom severity is the Expanded Disability Status Scale or EDSS.^[23]

Multiple sclerosis relapses are often unpredictable, occurring without warning and without obvious inciting factors. Some attacks, however, are preceded by common triggers. Relapses occur more frequently during spring and summer.^[24] Infections such as the common cold, influenza, or gastroenteritis increase the risk of relapse.^[25]^[26] Stress may also trigger an attack.
