Hello friends --I have more weirdness in my life to share. I bet you wonder how one person could have so much weirdness going on. Yeah - me too!!  I had a TON of podcast interviews scheduled this week - both for the FUMS Podcast Show and the upcoming Patients Getting Paid podcast. Well - Tuesday - just before I was about to start one, Verizon's internet service went down on the East Coast! WHAT?!?!  OK. Deep breath. Try again the next day.  Except the next day - I got 1 interview in, took my dog for a walk and my kids called me to tell me that the trash truck had caught fire outside the house and we were being evacuated. WHAT!?!?  We couldn't get back in for hours so I had to cancel all my interviews. UGH. I'll try again next week. I'm looking forward to Happy Hour tonight so I can toast to resilience and a sense of humor!!Let's get to the good stuff:1.  When it comes to living well with MS, here are 14 products you may not have heard about from your doctor: 14 Helpful Products for MS2.  Could this make the Lumbar Puncture unnecessary??
