How to contact Donna
Sometimes readers have a need to talk privately. If you want to send me an email about your MS or caregiver challenges or thriumps, I would love to hear from you. My email address is donnasteigleder@gmail.comPublic Service Warning: Do Not Purchase from Radical Mobility
If you are considering purchasing a 4-wheel drive wheelchair, please do not purchase from Radical Mobility. We bought one in 2009 from them. It never worked. We sent the parts to them to repair. They never returned them. We finally received the parts we sent them them this year (2015). Multiple customers of theirs have told us of similar issues. Please, do not make the same mistake we made. Look elsewhere. I'll share more if you contact me directly.

Plasmapheresis
I am so excited. Lynn was able to type using both hands yesterday! He hasn’t been able to do that in months. He also was testing out whether he could hold a fishing rod and he was not only able … Continue reading

Could MS be a blessing?
First off let me say that I would not wish MS on anyone. Nor do I believe that God gives people MS either as a blessing or a curse; MS, like all diseases, is a consequence of a fallen world … Continue reading

Stiff as a Board?
All my life I have heard people say something was as “stiff as a board” but it wasn’t until Lynn started struggling with MS that the phrase took on a literal meaning to me. I had heard also of spasticity but … Continue reading
Wondering where this road will go
Ever make plans for the future that didn’t quite turn out as you had hoped? Yeah, who hasn’t. That’s how MS affects my life. We make plans and then he has a new struggle to deal with and the plans … Continue reading

Starting Down the MS Road
I knew very little about MS when Lynn was diagnosed. I knew that it was a nerve condition and that it was often first diagnosed due to vision impairment. I knew also that it affected a person’s ability to walk. … Continue reading
Being diagnosed
My spouse was diagnosed with MS in the fall of 2006. Since that time the journey we have taken has been a whirlwind of change and adjustment. Realistically, I believe he had MS for many years before he was diagnosed. … Continue reading
