Hello from Chris in Massachusetts,

I grew up in Massachusetts and went to college in Vermont, where I lived for 23 years before moving back to Massachusetts in 2001. Burlington Vermont was great, but it's nice to be back with family in Massachusetts. I was recently married for the second time. My wife Jane, and I are born-again Christian's and truly loving life. I'm just going to go off here with random thoughts and experiences that I have had recently, just to give you a better idea of who I am. I'm just starting to get involved with cre8buzz and I love it. Everyone is so nice and extremely talented. I wish I could make my page look half as good as the sites you all have created. Maybe in time. Anyway, here are some more details about me and what I've been up to. I have MS, if you or someone you know has MS you know MS is different for every individual. The combination of symptoms is like the variables in an algebraic equation. There are so many different variations of symptoms with this disease, but we’re all pretty much on the same wavelength when it comes to understanding the emotional challenges we face. How we deal mentally in our personal lives can be so devastating. Wouldn’t it be nice to find some mental relief? I wrote a book designed to help others deal with and understand how chronic illness affects relationships. The book is my real life story. I have had MS for 28 years, divorced and remarried. Praise the Lord! If you'd like to read more about my book, there are some reviews on Amazon.com (book title: Life Interrupted, It's Not All About Me) or you can check out my blog by cutting and pasting the link below into your browser: defeating-illness.blogspot.com or just click on my cre8buzz blog.

It was not my intention to be a writer with degrees in ecology, chemistry and human resources, but in 1995, after having relapsing remitting MS for 15 years I was disabled by secondary progresses MS. Between the disease and my divorce in 2002 my life was a mess and seemed to have only one direction, down! But, God had bigger plans. I'm in the process of writing my second self-help MS book and I frequently write articles for various online magazines, web sites like MSworld.org and MSfocus.org and just recently I had a two page article published in the summer issue of MS focus magazine. I look forward to meeting and making new friends here on cre8buzz. Give me a shout! I'll be in touch.
