Why do people only give You colour of your skin options when asking about your ethnicity, and if the colour of your skin is what they want and an honest answer is needed why is there, not a multi-coloured option? No, I am serious. My arms can be very brown from hanging out of the car and my feet are quite pale. My face can be different altogether. Not to meant mention the soles of my feet which are really white. I would really like to be honest but I just do not have the opinions.

Onto another point. Is your aim to be healthy? Of course, it is. So let me suggest that YOU start looking around at the various habits of healthy and long-lived people. The Japanese come to mind first. Do they have habits that YOU could possibly adopt? Remember the aim is always to have your absolute best life despite ms. Look around, open your eyes, and find little solutions that make your life better. Make mistakes but never stop looking.

Maybe find a "carry-on" T-shirt that appeals to YOU and adopt the slogan. I like "Now panic, freak out and Carry on", it appeals to my sense of humour.

Stay well, and live your fullest life whatever it may be. This is a doable condition, so just go ahead and DO IT.

People in Boston strike me as being healthy, so today I made a point of getting Boston creme donuts.

I agree. Most people look at me at don't believe with my natural curly red hair, fair skin that I am more Indian than anything else.

I would not have guessed Indian. Indian, Indian or American Indian. If American which tribe. Just curious, tell me to mind my own business if you feel you need to.

Not what you're looking for?
