Hello friends --I'm losing my mind. Seriously. It's official. My daughter is turning 16 tomorrow and we're having a big sweet 16 party for her this weekend. And - my other daughter is going to college for the first time on Wednesday and we're packing her up to move into her dorm. And I am losing my mind. And my MS doesn't like all of this stress. I share my craziness in a blog post I just published today - and the first of the 6 topics for this week.  Here you go:1. As referenced above - I'm losing (have lost??) my mind and here is why: Stress Is Bad For MS2. How YOU doin'? (said like Joey Tribianni from Friends).
