Aug 24 Friday Night 6-Pack

FUMS Friday Night 6-Pack

 

Hello friends --Hope you had a great week. We got a little break in the heat and humidity here in southern Virginia and I soooo appreciate it. Kids go back to school in 11 days - but who's counting?!?!  ME - I AM!!!!! Summer's coming to an end - then my favorite season starts. I LOVE FALL!! But I digress . . . So - let's do this. Here's your Friday Night 6-Pack:1)  Are you on Aubagio? Have you experienced hair loss? If so, this article's for you. BTW - I'm on Tecfidera and I know a lot of people had hair loss with that drug too - and they found success in using high dose Biotin. Read about it here: Aubagio and Hair Loss2)  This bike simulates the effects of MS. Is there someone in your life that could benefit from actually experiencing a bit of what you experience??  Here's your chance: MS Bike3)  They've discovered a whole new "subtype" of MS. No, seriously. Not kidding. REALLY! Read more here: New Subtype of MS Discovered4)  Interesting findings re: unusually high levels of aluminum found in urine and brain tissue of #MS'ers. Hmmmm. I'm a bit suspicious of this one but - I share what I find! Could Aluminum Cause MS?5)  Super psyched. Just booked a podcast interview with Tarita Davenock, CEO with Travel For All - an accessible travel agency. Tarita herself has MS and says "we have booked 5000+ vacations for travelers with special requirements- cane users, slow walkers, hearing/sight impaired, wheelchairs etc. Our mantra is 'Travel Should Be Inclusive- Not Exclusive'". So - what questions do YOU have about traveling with MS? Hit "reply" to this email and send me YOUR questions. I'll ask Tarita for you on the podcast! Where is your DREAM vacation? Psssst - we may be talking about scheduling an FUMS group trip . . .6) One of our fellow FUMS'ers reached out and asked what cooling gear I could suggest for her. I have my favorite neck wrap and a spray bottle with a fan attached, but it had been years since I checked into any NEW cooling gear. HOLY MARKET EXPANSION BATMAN!!  Cooling panties and bras? Cooling sleeves? Cooling gloves? Unbelievable. Check out what I found: Cooling GearSo that's it for this week's 6-Pack. You can crack it open all at once, or sip on it - reading bits and pieces over time. Either way, hope you find value in this little ditty!  Be sure to hit "reply" and give me some questions for my next podcast guest about traveling with MS - OR - just to say hi, or tell me what's going on in your world or to just shoot the shit. I always enjoy hearing from fellow FUMS'ers. If you have other ideas of topics you'd like me to cover or people you'd like me to interview on the podcast - maybe even YOU - drop me an email and let me know at [email protected] or meet me over in the FUMS Facebook community and let's chat!  Thanks.🍺Cheers🍺 -- Kathy#FUMS

Sometimes it helps the stress, just to say "F-U-M-S"
