Hello friends --This weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. Does that make you happy or sad? I like what summer means - vacation, slower pace, seeing family, etc., but the heat and humidity in a Virginia summertime are a killer. I'm trying out a new cooling neck wrap. I'll let you know if it's a hero or a zero!!  Let's get to the good stuff:1.  I just published a complete RANT about my neurologist and how I've had to follow behind her to get things done. Have you had a doctor drop the ball? Piss you off? Read my story and PLEASE share yours in the comments section at the bottom of the post - right here: Kicking My Neuro To The Curb2.  Listen up Mother Muckers: that's right - it's Muck Fest time again!  This is a REALLY fun, REALLY dirty way to raise money and awareness for MS. There's one in Philly, June 8th, New Jersey, July 20th, Chicago, August 17th (my daughter's sweet 16th), and Denver, September 14th. Get in there - get dirty - and help clean up this MS mess!! Learn more right mucking here: MuckFest MS3.  I'm running a very simple, non-scientific survey over on the FUMS Facebook page - asking this question for our U.S. FUMS'ers: Medicare for All or Private plus Public Option. It's just up for 4 more days. Get over there and cast your vote. Just interesting to see what the FUMS Nation thinks: FUMS Facebook 4.  Interesting article that asks "what happens if you mix CBD and alcohol"?  Shout out to fellow-FUMS'er Steve Woodward for volunteering to do his own study on this one - "for the greater good" - what a guy, willing to sacrifice like that . . . Here's the article: CBD & Alcohol5.  In the "WTF" department: 'We don't do disableds': Pub staff turn away multiple sclerosis sufferer saying they would not serve disabled customers"  Unbelievable. Read the article right here: Bullshit6.  Statins have been found to have benefits in #MS - not related to lowering cholesterol! Pretty interesting study. Read more here: Statin Benefit in MSWell - that's a wrap. Hope this newsletter is helpful to you. If so - please share the wealth. Share it with other MS'ers that you know - and have them subscribe at www.FUMSnow.com/GetTheScoop. If you need anything or have any questions, drop me an email at [email protected] or meet me over in the FUMS Facebook community and let's chat!  Thanks.  Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend - and be careful out there!!Warmly -- Kathy#FUMS

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