Wow, Marc. I am truly impressed with the writing you ARE able to do, in spite of what you have to go through on a daily basis. I appreciate your taking the time to explain it to me. It just proves the assumption that true writers HAVE TO write, and nothing can keep them from it. Good luck with your new "unemployed" state, and please keep writing!

Hi Randi,
Thank you for your kind words

My MG affects me every day in every kind of way. It’s a bit difficult for me to explain as I don’t know what it’s like *not* to suffer from it. Some have likened it to fatigue as in lethargy, 24/7; not sure if that helps to imagine it

Basically I live in a constant weakened state. The level of weakness varies from day to day, not by much, apart from the occasional bad one. I rely on a wheelchair to get about and I have to take medication every 3 hours 5 times a day to counteract the weakness.

On bad days I do have to all but stop and not do any physical activities even writing. So it can and does effect it. Since becoming “unemployed” this week though I’m finding my energy levels starting to pick up a bit as I’m no longer being taxed by having to travel to and from work etc.

Hello Marc!

First of all, who’s Hugh Jackman?

Thanks for opening up about your condition. I followed the link you provided, and it seems there are many variations. How does it affect you on a daily basis? I just hope it doesn’t ever get in the way of your writing, because I truly enjoy your site and your comments on other sites. Your sense of humor and insightful questions about life keep me poking my nose into what you have to say.

I had fun going to the sites you tagged. Lots of fun people out there!

Actually Janice I believe the US and UK are getting simultaneous release dates.

@Mel can you imagine the legalities of setting up a webinar in the middle of a cinema! Would be awesome though.

Maybe one day the studios will figure out how to broadcast it over the Internet so we really can all “go to the movies” together.

Great idea, Melinda, but we’ll probably get it in the UK after you do! We could have a post DVD watch blog drool afterwards though!

Wolverine is in a comic book? Wow, who knew? LOL! I like Hugh as Wolverine more than most of his other characters he's played. I wonder if there's some way we could all get together virtually and watch Wolverine together, byo popcorn and beverage of choice, IM in a group through the movie. Wouldn't that be a cool way to watch it! Although it will be released here in Aust six months after the US, as usual I'm sure! Melinda’s last blog post..Free Blogathon April 2009 - Come Join Us!

True. Hugh (we’re on a first name basis) has often said he enjoyed returning to the darker side of Wolverine for this new film. He felt the last X-Men film had mellowed the character a bit too much.

I tend to agree with him.

Nawww.....You missed the point - I ONLY like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine! Wolverine's essence is what makes HJ hunky! (And you can just tell HJ loved playing Wolvie!) If you get a Wolvie gravatar for your new blog you'll treble your femail! Janice’s last blog post..A Faithful Hand
