Favorite Quote: by Albert Einstein: "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds."
Personal verse: Ephesians 6:13- "Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so then when the day of evil comes,you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."

My "Earnhardt Room" at home, used to be the spare bedroom/study til it just sort of got full of Dale, Kevin and NASCAR. Hubby dubs it the "Earnhardt Shrine". Little did he know it would really become one so soon!

Special Links of Understanding:

After 30 years of a multitude of symptoms that have lingered and plagued me, I have finally been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Unfortunately, it was missed through many doctors who simply didn't see the signs, or want to listen as I tried to explain something's not right. Finally, thank God for my current PCP who noticed my right hand during an office visit had lost it's fine motor control, and thought enough to ask questions and then schedule me to the Neurologist. Two years later and a battery of tests, and many many exams, I have a definite diagnosis and I'm on daily injections of Copaxone now.

MS is an unwelcome guest in my body, here's a pic I like that shows what it's like to be subject to a disease with a fickled nature and a slippery slope.

And here's a site I dearly love!
PatientsLikeMe is a special community committed to providing a better, more effective way to capture valuable results, information and sharing experiences among patients, healthcare professionals, and industry organizations that are trying to treat the disease. The best part is that it's "patients helping patients live better everyday."
