Hello friends --Hope this finds you and yours enjoying life! We had a beautiful snow last week and now my Tulip Magnolia is starting to bloom. What the what?!?!  Weird damned weather! My oldest daughter, Maggie Mae, is home for spring break so I'm one happy mama!!  One week from today is my husband's nephrectomy (kidney removal) so we're gearing up for that. I still plan to get the FUMS Friday Night 6-Pack out. Thought I'd write it while he was in surgery. We'll see . . . Let's get to the good stuff, shall we?? Here's your 6-pack - delivered icy-cold, frosty, wet and delicious:1.  This is the book that actress Selma Blair attributes a lot of her resiliency to in her fight against #MS. She implores us all to read it. I've got mine . . .Suffer Strong2.  Are you currently on Tysabri and considering switching meds?? Read this article first.  MS Patients Switching from Tysabri to Other Therapies May Risk Disease Activity3.  An old friend of mine recently posted saying she had gone out dancing and had so much fun. She posted this question: "why don't we dance anymore?" Well - I do. Every damned day. Much to the total mortification of my family (which to me, is an added bonus!) but I dance every day. I LOVE music. I affects my mood enormously. And so does "movement". I'm here to encourage you - dance like no one is watching!!!  Music Therapy for MS4.  Are you a cannabis enthusiast? Has cannabis helped on your MS journey??  Seems it's helped a lot of people: Cannabis and the Fight Against Multiple Sclerosis5.  I struggle with eating well. I do a decent job - but there's a LOT of room for improvement - especially in the sugar department. What's YOUR food weakness??  Multiple Sclerosis: 8 Foods to Avoid6.  My sense of smell has definitely decreased over the years. I'm amazed when someone mentions a scent that I cannot even detect. That may well be yet another gift of MS. Sense of Smell Could Be a Signal of MS ProgressionAnything I can help you with?? 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.Warmly -- Kathy#FUMS

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