Keep S'Myelin
After the recent walk for multiple sclerosis awareness, I decided I need a tee shirt with the important message. So, here it is, straight from Amazon! My wife, Janice, lives with MS.
In case you've never come across the word myelin, it refers to a fatty substance that coats our nerves, like the plastic cover on telephone wire. The immune system of a person with MS will attack the myelin, stripping away the insulation and preventing the electric signals we depend on from transmitting properly.
The good news is that our bodies will replace myelin that we lose. That's one of the basic things to know about multiple sclerosis. But, we need our own defense system to stop attacking us. Go after the bad guys instead!
My public service announcement for today. HSS, everyone!
