What a great day it was today! We all met at a bookstore in Okemos MI called Schuler’s. Great place to have a meeting and lunch.

First Meeting Photo

Myra, myself (Pam) and Lesa. Myra has had MS since Summer 2002, I have had MS since 1991 and Lesa has had MS since 1988. We have all had some same symptoms and some symptoms that were different. It was great to share our stories with each other.

Both Lesa and Myra are currently not taking any type of medications. They both do natural medicines and therapy. I was on Avonex injections for the last few years but currently am not on any medication treatments. We talked about different foods that affect our bodies. Myra cannot eat anything that has sugar because it makes her very dizzy. Lesa suffers from muscle spasms and I suggested that she try to include foods that have a high potassium content. This might help ease up on the muscle spasms. I am just basically continuing with what I have been doing eating a low fat diet and not alot of meat.

Lesa cannot drive so her friend Lori Baar brought her. Lori Baar will contact Deaf CAN to put our group to advertise and see if we get more people to participate.

Our next meeting will be September 13 on Saturday @ 11:30 at Lori Baar’s home. This will be a good meeting. I am hoping Katie will be able to join us and share her story with all of us.
