I Have Discovered The Physiological Source of All Happiness!

 

I've always wondered why I was so silly. Then yesterday, while looking through a copy of my 2009 brain MRI, I was shocked to find my inner smiley face staring right back at me!

 

This is a completely unretouched copy of what I saw (even though I really really wanted to tint the little smiley face's nose red).

 

So there you have it. The next time someone tells me to get serious and quit joking around, I'll just show them this picture, and explain that doing so would be a physical impossibility.

 

UPDATE: Since that time, I have had another MRI, and yes, the smiley face is still there! :)

We sat at a roof-top terrace across the street and the whole time I tried to imagine what he was dreaming of.

I am raising awareness for multiple sclerosis and have been for years. Better known as MS, it is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. It interrupts flow of the information within the brain and between the brain and body. Patient symptoms vary and range from numbness and tingling, to blindness and paralysis. It affects more than 400,000 people in the United States.

 

Our bodies are in constant motion, moving information from the brain to the body. MS stops people from moving by attacking myelin, which protects normal nerve tissue. The damage keeps people from moving smoothly, both inside and out. Many have trouble imagining what life would be without the ability to move, but I know the effects of MS, as I have MS.

 

I will again take initiative to attend the Carroll County commissioners' meeting and speak with them regarding MS. I will ask them to accept a proclamation I constructed, and recognize Carroll County, being one of the 88 counties in Ohio, that March is MS Awareness Month in the state of Ohio, as signed into law by former governor Robert Taft, on March 2, 2006.

 

March will be another stepping stone with MS, as there has been announced a new FDA-approved oral medication, Ampyra. Currently the only prescribed MS medications are administered by injections. No information about the drug's cost has been released.

 

I ask for your help in raising MS awareness because this is a battle we can, and should win.

A equipa EM'Força esteve em massa na edição de 2015 da Corrida Montepio. Com mais de três dezenas de atletas a vestirem a camisola Mágica da SPEM - Sociedade Portuguesa de Esclerose Múltipla nesta prova - ora a correr os 10 quilómetros ora a caminhar os 5 da distância mais curta -, a solidariedade foi o mote desta manhã de domingo.

 

Com muitas histórias para partilhar entre os nossos atletas e por entre conquistas, tempos record e muita alegria, esta equipa exibiu mais uma vez a sua solidariedade que tão bem nos identifica.

 

São também de destacar as duas conquistas por atletas com Esclerose Múltipla: ambos nos 10 quilómetros, o nosso José Martins e a nossa Luísa Matias somaram mais uma bela conquista por eles e por todos os doentes com Esclerose Múltipla.

 

A vestir a camisola Mágica nesta prova tivemos então os seguintes atletas, a quem agradecemos e endereçamos os nossos parabéns pelas conquistas alcançadas: Ana Isabel Silva, Analice Silva, António Cardoso, Carlos Filipe João, Carlos Pereira, Cláudia Rato, Daniel Ramos, Edgar Trigo, Elisabete Oliveira, Elsa Mendes Ribeiro, Fátima Lopes, Fernando Agostinho, Filipa Gama, Isabel Pisco, João Cabeças, João Seborro, Joaquim Pedro Melo, José Cerqueira, José Garcia Martins, José Manuel Carvalho, José Pedreira, Júlio Verde, Luísa Sacchetti Matias, Maria Emília Silva, Maria João Valentim, Nuno Santos, Orlando Duarte, Patrícia Dinis, Paula Figueiredo, Paulo Jorge Cerqueira, Paulo Pereira, Paulo Gandum, Paulo Sousa, Pedro Pereira, Sandra Santos Alves e Sílvia Magalhães Figueiredo.
