Injury, poor genetics, bad structure? Things could be worse.

I'm grateful for the body I have. No, I'll never look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, but there are certainly worse things.

I count my blessing almost daily that I have great health...there are so many things that can go wrong with the body that are completely out of our control.

The sad thing is....a lot of antipsychotic/antidepressant meds can cause MAJOR side effects that mimic dystonia and tardive dyskinesia.

It's thrilling to me that there are great minds at work trying to solve these problems. Someone very dear to me is being treated for Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.
