Around the same time that I began this blog, about six (6) months ago, I also set up a Facebook page, "msandyou" (for consistency, of course). The intent of the Facebook page, as well as this blog, is to inform MS patients, and others interested, of new information about MS, of local area MS functions, programs, and meetings, of MS teleconferences and webinars, and how to live better in spite of having MS. As with this blog, the MS and You Facebook page will also provide strictly positive messages, no matter who contributes them.
Since starting both this blog and the Facebook page, I've been struggling to recuperate from complications after a cervical fusion surgery (NOT related to my MS). It's been a tough road, and yes, I followed my own advise given in previous blog entries, because I know that it works! Now that I'm feeling better, I will resume the work that I had originally intended, to give encouragement to those who live with MS.
However, I have to be honest: I'm not into the whole "social media" thing. I'm trying to learn as I go and have been posting MS events and an occasional positive comment on the Facebook page. Hopefully I've done it correctly but if not, please forgive me and, I'm always open to suggestions and/or constructive criticism. Since so many people love and use Facebook daily, often multiple times per day, many can share the benefits of our Facebook page. Recently I've enlisted the help of an MS friend to help keep the Facebook page up to date. She loves Facebook, uses it daily herself, knows how it works and how to use it and, understands my mission. Between the two of us, we hope to keep you "in the loop". Take care and don't forget to smile!
