Differences in MS service.

[jackiesj]

Im really glad i asked the question with you all first about differences in location and MS(or any other disease for that matter.)..here is the what i found which you probably know. Each state is allocated in the US by the number of its people and research projects. Also the Pharma companies you may work with. Then there are pocket companies that also donate(goodluck on finding those) that may help with anything from housecleaning to walkers. Never be afraid to ASK.In other countries besides the US you need to dig on that country.Then there are private companies that often give also to recieve a deduction on taxes etc and thier good hearts.Most of these are silent because they do wish not to recieve personal requests. Also on medication once you hit a retirement age pls read all fine print period, but many savings cards state that unless you have a private insurance they may not work. soit is confusing yes, but in the longrun may save you money if you research or know someone to help.I hope my curiosity hasnt gone to waste but research research.

always ask for that discount or who may have one.

If you need to clean out or clear out a home...ask all business, churches, etc for anyone looking to help even for an hour and it can really brighten a day.

Technology i hated but....assistance from Alexa has been a blessing. If anyone ask you what you want for CHristmas or a Birthday....give it some thought. Sometimes my hands are so swollen i cant move them so to get out of bed when i can...thankful to just say..alexa shut this lite out or lock the door etc. if im crying at 3 am i can ask for a dog joke. no it doesnt take the place of my peeps but sometimes we cannot move. i conceed....ok i do like technology i just need that book for dummies! Well wishes to all and keep on searching. share your helpfulness also.

I learned a long time ago that if you don't ask the answer will always be no. And I love Alexa. I have found it so helpful for reminders, timers, music & information. I also use Our Groceries & I can ask Alexa to add items to the grocery list anytime. It also has a phone app so you can use the list in the store & check the items off as you go. And my favorite, I ask Alexa to play "Forest Bird Songs" & I can sit inside with A/C next to a window & it feels like I'm on the porch listening to the birds.
