The Society for the Advancement of Women’s Health Research, along with the National MS Society, hosted a primer on MS on Capitol Hill in June 25. Sarah spoke about the experience of having MS, and used some props to give volunteers the feeling of dropfoot, tingling in the hands, optic neuritis, and spasticity in the chest.

One volunteer had to button her shirt while wearing rubber gloves, getting a mild shock on her hands, wearing weights on her wrists, and wearing vaseline-covered glasses.

The panelists included Dr. Heidi Creighton, who is Sarah’s neurologist and sort of a rock star personality among DC-area MS patients. She is standing next to Sarah in this photo.

Happy New Year to everyone. Sarah and I and the girls are doing well. I would like to use this site to keep people up to date on our various doings, so check back from time to time, OK?
