A macro shot of the needle that injected Copaxone, an MS-fighting drug, into Janice's hip last night. Daily shots help to ward off the development of hardened areas in the brain, and therefore, exacerbations.
Here, a tiny drop of the clear medicine remains on the point of the needle. BTW, the blue injector is resting on a blanket.
I'd already taken my photo a day for Flickr but resisted uploading because I'd hoped that we'd get a visit at our local Twocann Tuesdays MS Support Group from Stuart Nixon who was recently awared an MBE for his work for the MS Society UK. To me he's the most inspirational person I know to those living with, or affected by MS (Multiple Sclersosis) Check out what he did to celebrate the MS Society's 60th birthday ...

His pride in the award is a tribute to his achievements and, as he is the first to acknowledge, reflects the hard work done by all those affected by MS .
Stuart has also been given a new role within the MS Society as Ambassador for the MS Society. This is a completely new role at the MS Society and one which will allow the Society to continue to benefit from Stuart's unique blend of passion, commitment and knowledge.

I took these photographs as my statement of hope. If I can be 36wks pregnant and still have access to medication that may help ameliorate my disease, then maybe someday I won't have this disease at all. I hope they motivate and inspire others with MS too.
Please leave a comment or two!

March has been proclaimed Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (MRDD) Month and Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month by Carroll County Commissioners.
Commissioners Larry Garner, Doyle Hawk and Thomas Wheaton signed the proclamation declaring March 2009 as MRDD Month. The Carroll Hills Workshop and School is Carroll County’s program which serves infants, pre-schoolers, school age students and adults who have mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. The Carroll Hills program has adopted the theme “Just Like You” for its month-long celebration.
Ed Hale, a county resident stricken with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), presented a proclamation to commissioners declaring March as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month. MS is a chronic often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system affecting young to middle-aged adults. Most people are diagnosed with MS between the ages of 20-50.
To the Editor:
I live in Carrollton and I am raising awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. No one has chosen to live with MS, it has chosen us and we do choose to fight it. I am asking you to join me in the fight against MS during MS Awareness Month and throughout the year to make sure the voices of everyone connected to MS are being heard.
On March 2, I took the initiative to attend the Carroll County Commissioners meeting and made them aware of this. In return, they have chosen to accept the proclamation I constructed and recognized Carroll County, being one of the 88 counties, that March is MS Awareness Month in the state of Ohio as signed into law by former Governor Robert Taft March 2, 2006.
Our bodies are in constant motion, moving information from the brain to the body. MS stops people from moving by attacking the myelin that protects normal nerve tissue. The damage keeps people from moving smoothly, both inside and out. Many have trouble imagining what their lives would be without the ability to move, but I know the effects of MS and I have MS.
If you have multiple sclerosis, if you know someone who has MS, or if you want to help the 18,000 Ohioans who battle the disease every day, I ask for your help in raising awareness. We fight MS because this is one battle we can and should win. We fight MS right now so that future generations won’t have to. If you know someone who has MS, call them on the phone or just stop in for a visit to see how they are doing and show your support. To borrow a famous company slogan from AT&T “Reach out and touch someone.” You may just make a difference in their life.
Information on MS and awareness events can be located at the National Multiple Sclerosis, Ohio Chapter, website at www.nationalmssociety.org/chapters/OH.

Ashley M. Kumlien and Thomas Budde stopped in Carrollton, Ohio on Labor Day 2010. While there I got to meet Tom and Ashley while they stopped for a few moments before heading off to the state of PA. Ashley is in this photo with me, Edward L. Hale. I was diagnosed with MS in 2006 and I am a Carroll County MS Activist.
Step by step, Ashley M. Kumlien is running to make a difference for people battling multiple sclerosis.
She has been running 25-30 miles a day since she left San Francisco in April to raise money for multiple sclerosis research. She plans to reach New York City by Sept. 30. The distance is roughly 3,200 miles. She calculated that she could complete the run in six months by running 20 miles a day.
Her run was inspired by her mother, Jill Kumlien, who was diagnosed with MS 28 years ago. The disease has given her mother seizures and balance issues. Some days she is a little fuzzy; on others she can think clearly. She is losing her fine motor skills.
