Hello friends --What a difference a week makes. Things are much quieter around here this week. No hurricane. No tornado. Just the sound of packing. Why packing? Because I'M GOING ON VACATION!!!!  The first one since July 2019!!  Can.  Not.  Wait.  Here are my plans for an entire week:                         .  That's it. NOTHING!! Well - I do plan on having some hot crabs and cold beer. And reading - just for fun - nothing medical in nature!! And listening to music and podcasts while I sit on the beach and watch the clouds blow past. I am forbidding my family from putting the two letters "M" and "S" together all week. Nothing. Nada. No work. Period. Ahhhhh. Just saying it makes me relax a bit!Alright - let's get to what you came here for:1.  Because I'm going on vacation - there will be no podcast next week and no FUMS Friday Night 6-Pack.  I hope you miss them both!!  About the podcast, would you please hit "reply" to this email and let me know your thoughts on my interview episodes vs. my solo episodes? I just did a couple of those because interviews had cancelled, and expected them to fall flat. Instead, they have gotten large download numbers. Trying to understand what you really want from the FUMS Podcast. Please - let me know.  Thanks.2.  What in the actual fuck?  I'm just going to leave this one right here: Phew! No Hookworm Larvae as MS Treatment3.  I saw this artist with #MS on CBS Sunday Morning this past Sunday. It's incredible. And inspirational. Pop art, by bubble wrap artist Bradley Hart4.  You know you should request a copy of your credit report every year - to make sure there are no inaccuracies that could potentially limit your availability of funds. But did you know the same thing exists for your medical records?? This is CRAZY. I’d never heard of such a thing. Find issues, correct them and you could save yourself a lot of money. WHO KNEW??   Medical Annual Report5.  I don't find this a stretch at all: Smoking and Epstein-Barr Virus Combine to Raise MS Risk, Study Says6.  Not sure what to think about this one: Could a Tongue Stimulator Help to Improve Your Walking?Well - that's all folks. Other than to say - if you haven't already, be sure to get on the waiting list for Patients Getting Paid, the upcoming membership community to teach people with chronic illness how to find and create flexible, remote work situations to better accommodate thier (our) health.

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