Hello Friends --Hope you had a great week. Thanks so much for all of the wonderful messages you sent telling me that you really like this new format idea. Friday Night 6-Packs for everyone!!I'm currently in Bethany Beach, Delaware soaking up some rest, relaxation, love and laughter with old friends. It's good for the soul! Hope your summer is going well too! I'd LOVE to hear about what you're up to!Here is your Friday Night 6-Pack!  1)  Super interesting article about how the number, size and location of your lesions can predict the progression of your disease!  Lesion article2)  Threadworms and the Epstein-Barr Virus is what researchers at both Harvard and Glasgow Universities believe could be the cause of MS! No kidding! Read more here: MS Cause3)  MS can really jack up your career. This article talks about how MS can cause you to go part time, switch careers or even retire early. Click here for more info: MS & Career4) Speaking of MS jacking up your career, I had to quit my beloved job thanks to MS several years ago. The paychecks quit coming - but the bills didn't!! I managed to put together a career that I can do from anywhere (remember, I'm currently at the beach). I found there is an entire industry that is looking for people with chronic illnesses to tap into their experience to benefit their company (think marketing companies, healthcare companies, pharmaceutical companies). They hire BECAUSE of your disease - not despite of it! I'm creating a course to teach people how to do what I've been able to do - and share all of my resources. If you're interested, sign up on the email list and as soon as I have the course built, I'll send you an email letting you know. Sign up here: Patients Getting Paid5) Low dose Botox is shown to make a significant difference for MS patients with urinary issues. I'd like to use a little between my eyebrows and for my crow's feet - but that's another story! Here's the article: Botox for MS Bladder Issues6) I am pleased, proud and a bit embarrassed to tell you that I've been nominated for an award for "Best in Show: Podcast"!!  If you find value in the FUMS Podcast Show and you feel that I deserve this wonderful award, I'd be so grateful if you'd "vote"  for me by choosing "Endorse Kathy" on this site. Thank you so much!So - that's it for this week's Friday Night 6-Pack. Hope you find value in it. And - I hope you're enjoying your summer. It's coming to an end, you know. Get out there and have some fun!!  Warmly -- Kathy#FUMS
