I am a nurse who has always been interested in health and how good nutrition and regular exercise play a role prevention of disease. My thoughts have been challenged a bit since I never imagined I would develop a strange muscle disease. I am realizing there are things in life we cannot control because our bodies are affected by a fallen world and at times very vulnerable to our environment. I treasure this body and am thankful to the Lord for the help I have recieved from all of my doctors, therapists, nurses and the MDA staff.
