Hello friends --Here in southern Virginia, it's beginning to feel like Spring - and things are blooming. However - this happens every year and as soon as I get my warm weather clothes down from the attic - COLD SNAP. Well - I'm on to you, Mother Nature, and this year - I'm holding out. I'm staying in my fuzzy, warm clothes well beyond what is fashionable - all in an effort to get the warm weather to come and STAY. I don't know why my kids worry about me!!??! Hope you can see Spring ahead as well.Onto the important shit: the FUMS Friday Night 6-Pack ~1.  I just wrote a blog post today all about the power of NO and the power of NOW with MS. Please - do me a favor. Check it out (it's short - about 700 words) and leave a comment with your thoughts and experiences in the comments section right under the post. Thanks. Here's the post: NO/NOW2. I do yoga - do YOU? If so - what do YOU find it helps with most? Balance? Flexibility? Core strength? Focus? Yes to all of those for me. Here's a great article on the benefits of yoga for MS'ers: YOGA 4 MS3.  GIVEAWAY, GIVEAWAY, GIVEAWAY, GIVEAWAY!!!! Enter to win free cooling gear for the coming summer months of hot/relapse weather! Do it now - before cog fog sets in and your forget!!😜 Cooling Gear Giveaway4.  "Polypharmacy" - ever heard of that term? I hadn't - but it makes sense and I bet it applies to a good deal of us in this community. It means taking multiple pharmaceuticals. What is YOUR daily pill count? Here's an article asking an important question: Are MS Patients Taking Too Much Medication5.  Oh - this is a good one. It caused quite a dust-up over on the FUMS Facebook page : On Disability and on Facebook? Uncle Sam Wants to Watch What You Post6.  The wonderful company FlexJobs (GREAT place to look for flexible, remote work opportunities) has made a donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in honor of #MSAwarenessMonth.

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