I love to perform. And ha, ha, ha to your response. Can't get a break. Anyway...When there are fast costume changes or running from the left to the right backstage for an entrance, being dizzy can be a bit of a hindrance. (Depending on the theater, stairs can be involved.) Even Karaoke can be challenging. I'd like something to hang on to. When I really get into a song, it seems to affect my head. Go figure. But it's fun anyway. When the singing's done, I'm done. Can't let it stop. laaaaaaaaaaaaa! Well, gotta go. I'll be looking for your next mailings. Bye. Yes, Rosalind, I do, very much.

It is all in our head - what we think creates our behavior. Maybe instead of running around on stage you might try walking:). You're so right to keep moving -- and doing what you can do!

It's all in my head. Seriously, it is in my head. I get dizzy. (My friends tell me that's nothing new. ha, ha) It's like waking up every morning having had one-to-many. I figure, everybody has something that's breaking down in one way or another. It's just called something else. So, I go out in my garden, cut my grass, shovel the snow, clean the house, etc. I used to do community theater. Running around on stage isn't doable, so I go out and sing Karaoke instead. I know it's time to slow down when I feel like I'm going to FALL down. But, I need to keep doing these things because they make me feel good. I can still move. I have MS. It’s all in my head.
