Multiple Sclerosis, Vitamin D, and Shootings in Perry Hall

I have to get more info about the meds I put in my body. I was all excited that the neuro told me I was deficient in vitamin D, then I found out there are like 3 kinds they use, even a special one for fat guys! I'm going to find out if I got that one, then ask the neuro what gives! I'm not fat, I'm just big boned. Man, no respect, even my doctor is calling me a lard ass! My D says it's 50,000 IU, is that a good one, I don't know.

I sure hope this increased feeling of numbness is normal. It keeps getting more pronounced too. I feel like crap, but I keep hoping it's the beginning of something good. My PCP is going to think I'm crazy. I hounded her for a prescription of for LDN and she gave it to me. I have a 4 week check up with her and have yet to take a single pill! I still think it's the right decision to only do one at a time, but it's hard to not to double up. I just hope I'm reading my body right, and this is the way it is supposed to go.

Hold on Dexter, a shooting in Perry Hall? I don't think so! It was after the Monday night football game, probably a Steelers fan acting the fool. It was right down at the bar behind our cemetery plots. Although shootings aren't unheard of around here, unfortunately, they are rare. With the smoking ban in all bars and restaurants, it has a created a lot of hanging around outside, kind of like loitering? I have seen 2 fights at the bar next to the bowling alley with the crowds standing around. Come on people, this is Perry Hall, not Orleans Street downtown, knock it off!

I also don't like all the empty houses and all the ones for sale in PH. We should string up all these mortgage companies that helped cause this mess with the banks. They should pass a law making it illegal to broker loans and immediately sell them. I also hope any bail out talks have plans to go after those brokers to get the money they made off of the morons that bought these million dollar houses in PH that they knew they couldn't afford!

Every adult that hasn't defaulted on a loan should be the ones eligible. Bailing out the people who took on loans they knew they couldn't afford is as distasteful as bailing out the people who gave them the money.
