From the Life With MS Inbox

In 2010 the Media Industry News recognized our Life With MS Blog community. In the ensuing years, my email box has filled to overflowing with news, offers, products and press releases. I go through all of it and discard the vast majority.

But sometimes?

Every now and again something ends up in that email repository that is worth a closer look. After a bit more digging the occasional nugget is worth a blog. Some of it might not be all that relevant to me directly, but a couple of things from last week got me thinking. Maybe I should start an occasional post called ?From The Life With MS Inbox? so that I could share a thing or two that might not be enough for an entire blog, but might be interesting to some of our readers.

I don?t know how often we?ll share ? I guess that depends on what comes in with the recycling. Every once in a while, however, I expect a gem or two to pop out.

Today, there are two.

First, a product that will make more sense for those of us who have a bit of an issue getting food from plate to mouth without a detour to lap. It?s called a ?Cravaat?? and is based on the original Cravat. The stain-resistant microfiber garment looks like a nice scarf, but it?s actually equivalent in function to a bib.

I know I?ve lost more than one shirt to unsteady hands. In the ?old days?, when I was traveling like crazy and got business class upgrades (and they served actual meals on planes), the napkins had a button hole in them so you could save your wardrobe. Not something you find in most dining establishments. I thought this ?accessory? might make sense for some of us with multiple sclerosis.

Also, in my box last week was a link to what I thought was a most exquisite short film called GALLOP from the folks at ShiftMS, a social network established ?where young MSers meet share experiences and support each other.?

I shared the film with my Facebook followers and the response was resoundingly positive. Enough people thanked me for sharing it with them that I wanted to make sure our blog community got the chance to see it as well.

So, there you have it ? our first ?From the Life With MS Inbox? blog. I?ll keep sifting through the garbage to see if there are any prizes shuffled in.

Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Cheers

Trevis
