Thanks for your kind words, Joan. I am so glad your friend is blogging. It's so cathartic. I wish you many blessings going forward. You are a good friend to show such a loving interest in her.

Thank you for your kind words and big hugs to you!

Hi Cathy,
I can't believe it has taken me so long to see your video. WOW! This is an important message, and so well delivered. I'm sending this to a woman, recently diagnosed, who just lets her husband talk to her neuro while she sits there in the room. She needs to find her voice.

I encouraged her to blog, and here is her result: http://ladyerbrowne.blogspot.com/

She blogs about the loneliness, the confusion, the fear. I hope it gives her the courage to speak up and not be silenced.

Love to you, Joan

Cathy, you are truly an inspiration. I particularly enjoyed the second video in this post. I have RA and fibromyalgia and I frequently make the mistake of identifying my *self* with my medical conditions.

Thank you for this great mitzvah you are doing. You bring me hope.

A beautiful and empowering video! There’s a positive feel to your video. You showed how to be strong but at the same time open and accepting to MS.

Hi Cathy! Congratulations for creating such a wonderful video for yourself and every single person who will see it. I have no doubt that it will reach and help many people. I also don't doubt that you've walked a difficult path but you continue to prove that anyone can live a happy and fulfilling life NO MATTER WHAT. You have come such a very long way and continue to be an inspiration to all your writer friends AND for anyone struggling with a difficult diagnosis. ~Kathy

Cathy, thank you for sharing your story and telling it so eloquently. Your message is important for anyone living with a chronic illness. Thank you for being there for people who deal with illness everyday and for the advocates who try and make things better for all of us.

Very well done, Cathy! I wasn't even aware that I had multiple sclerosis when I was pregnant. But I felt so good! Looking back during those two pregnancies I was the healthiest that I ever felt. I too had many misdiagnoses, as many of us have. I look forward to your next video!

So very proud FOR you and OF you, Cathy. I watch your entire presentation. Raw, honest and true, but sensitive, knowing and ever growing. Just like you. Courage is something that comes to us later in life. What a shame. We could all have used much more of it as we were growing up. No matter. When we find it, we are called upon to share its blessings. Speaking up and speaking out for ourselves and others is one on the most important spokes in the wheel of life. So very happy to see you here, hear your sharing. Thanks for that. Carry on, my dear, you're doing quite well!

Cathy,
You delivered your talk with courage and grace. I appreciate your heart-felt message that has meaning to every person who has ever encountered hardships in their journey, and isn't that everyone of us! You inspire me to be more compassionate and understanding. God Bless my friend!
