Cathy, I'm not really an envious person. But, I sure am envious of you being able to attend this incredible event. Just the fact of having MS for so long and having the capabilities to endure it all. I'm not sure I could do it anymore. Can't wait to hear all about what you learn. Safe travels!

Congratulations on all your work and education! I was 1st considered to have MS, but as a retired, disabled (to soon) Pedi NP, iI had been to many lectures over the years. I found some lecture notes, read and realized that i had a different Neuromuscular disease and by a persistent Neuro doc, had ended up on the right meds way before the diagnosis. Spastic Hereditary Paraparesis.....seldom found in a hereditary tree was exactly what I had. I often wonder how many MS patients are misdiagnosed. The Neurologist who wrote the 1st paper I found, was in NYC. I never went to him, and did not make another appointment with the doc who put me on the right meds. They gave it another general diagnosis at the time. It may be something to question in NO and your own Neurologist. It is worth knowing about.
Good Luck and how wonderful for your work. I hope to become more invested in the help, once I get moved back to PA. I grew up with Cathy Sikorski. She is awesome!!

I can't wait to hear what you learn. I work with clients with MS and over 70. I can tell you the number one thing that makes a difference in them is nutrition. Not only what they eat but what the body uses and why. Have a fun time! Thanks for posting!
