Please, I ask you to consider helping out a worthy cause... the National Parkinson Foundation. I have had the disease for nearly 12 years and have been embarked on a mission to help the NPF @parkinsondotorg raise money for their research. To that end, I've been offering some products from which 100% of my profits go to the NPF. So, unless I'm violating some sort of rule, might I ask you to take a peek?

Who are you? Remember, we are not our diagnosis! What have you experienced that led to your diagnosis? When did you hear that this MS might be part of your condition? Where are you from and how does the climate there play with your symptoms? Why do you think you are part of this experience? How do you plan to approach or accept whatever this thing called MS might be? People are interested! Just sharing and comparing can help so much! We will consider everything from the mystery disease as phantom to the possibility that it is plumbing as opposed to neurological. (Dr. Zamboni's theory coming soon!) Join in! You are part of we now!Who are you? Remember, we are not our diagnosis! What have you experienced that led... more

The relationship between smoking and cancer is well established. In a study published in the January 2011 issue of Pain, researchers report evidence to suggest that cancer patients who continue to smoke despite their diagnosis experience greater pain than nonsmokers.

Sleepwalking, one of the sleep disorders known as parasomnias, can occur in up to 10% of the population. According to Rafael Palayo, a sleep expert at the Stanford Clinic, sleepwalkers are not technically asleep. They are in a state of “dissociated arousal” that occurs within the sleep cycle.

Swedish researchers believe they have uncovered a possible explanation for the link between mental health and creativity... Last year, The New York Times called the Mexican artist Martín Ramírez “simply one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.” What is so remarkable about his achievement, beyond the mesmerizing repetition of lines and images in his drawings, is that all of the work was created inside a mental institution. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/section-blog/374-art-and-mentalSwedish researchers believe they have uncovered a possible explanation for the link... more

My family has gotten a lot smaller lately. My mother died in 2004, my father in 2007, and my uncle in 2008.
I’ve done the five stages of grief, as introduced by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in 1969, but not exactly as she described. It’s true that I initially felt denial: “I’m a lucky person; this can't be happening.” Then I was angry and felt sorry for myself. Then, at least during my mother’s struggle with pancreatic cancer, I hit the bargaining table. Mom was a Sunday school teacher when I was little, so I pleaded with God: “Please let the diagnosis be wrong, please let the chemo work, please don’t let the good die young.” To hedge my bets, I occasionally promised, “if she can beat the odds, I’ll volunteer at the local cancer center and I’ll donate my life savings to research.” It didn’t work. In less than four months, she was dead.
Depression crept in, and this stage held me in its grip for a long time. I gained acceptance a year or two after my mother’s death—she would’ve wanted me to—but this stage eluded me with the loss of my father and my uncle. Now, I’m just angry. Outraged, in fact.
My father had stomach cancer. My uncle had prostate cancer. Both were farmers.
I can remember when the two of them would come in from the fields covered with fine, white powder. The only part of their bodies that wasn’t white was the top of their heads when they took off their caps before sitting down to lunch. Dad said it was DDT, a pesticide that was banned in 1972 after Rachel Carson alerted the nation to its danger.

statement issued by Exene:
After some months of not feeling 100% healthy, I recently had some medical tests run and the prognosis is that I am suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. Apparently, it has been affecting me for quite some time.
Although this is obviously unfortunate news, I am choosing to see the positive in it. I, and X as a band, have supported the Sweet Relief charity since the mid-1990’s; the irony of this is not lost on any of us. Sweet Relief was started as an aide to uninsured artists by musician Victoria Williams when she herself was diagnosed with MS in 1992.
While this diagnosis will most certainly mean some changes for me, personally, it will not affect my commitments to the current X U.S. tour, nor will it affect my solo album that is slated for release this fall on Bloodshot Records.
My focus will certainly be on maintaining my health--many people remain strong and continue to live their lives as productively as they had before an MS diagnosis and I plan to be one of those people.statement issued by Exene:
