Blogging about MS
If you can read this entry on both mikehillwig.com and mikehasms.com, we’re doing something right. I’m not exactly keeping a separate blog, but rather what you read on mikehasms.com will be a subset of my “main” blog. If I put an entry in the “Multiple Sclerosis” category, it will show up on mikehasms.com. I think that’s how it’s going to work for now.
I have to say that this year’s MS Walk inspired me. It made me realize that I have a voice. This is my platform for using that voice. There are so many people out there who are terrified when they get that diagnosis of having MS. My goal is to help them realize that we can (and do) live perfectly normal lives.
MS Lifelines has an ambassaddor program, and it’s something I’m considering. I really don’t know much about the program, but I know they have people with great stories about their success with MS therapies. One of the best stories is actress Teri Garr. I hear her book is exceptional.
One more thing… past entries on mikehasms.com are all entries related to my having MS. I dealt with a relapse recently, and blogging about them has been one way for me to deal with the frustration.
