Hello friends --Well hello there. And how are you and yours faring while residing in cRaZyToWn???  I am starting to go a little bit kookoo and stir crazy - and my hair needs to be cut and colored and and and  - BUT - I am so very grateful that THUS FAR - we have stayed home and started to flatten the curve. I'd much rather lose my mind than lose my life! OK - kookie lady, let's get to what we came here for:1.  I've been working - REALLY HARD - on the Patients Getting Paid membership platform. BUT - it involves technology which is never a good thing for me. Additionally - I had 2 - count 'em 2 - migraines this week that took me down hard. I've never had 2 in one week. And in fact, I haven't had a migraine that hurt in years. I get the kind that just affect my eyes. But these kicked my ass. Hoping that's not a new trend. BUT I DIGRESS - so - I've been working on the PGP platform trying to get things set up in there to start welcoming my first wave of Founding Members. Those folks will get in for the lowest price it will ever be and can stay at that price as long as they remain members in good standing. There is a catch though: in exhange for a low monthly price held for you forever, I'll be asking for feedback on the content I'm putting in there (interviews, video chats, sharing my resources, etc) and how I can improve it and what else you want me to create, etc. And when I launch this baby (it does feel like I'm in labor) - it will only be open for a short time so - may I suggest that you hop on the email waiting list? That way, you'll hear all about it when I launch it - and when I will be closing it - and more about the program itself. GET ON THE LIST NOW here: PGP Waiting List2.  Here are some important brain preservation ideas. Now THAT'S important: Save Your Brain!!3.  Multiple sclerosis may vary patient-to-patient, but the process that causes its symptoms?

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