My name is Kara DeMaio and I'm a self-published author who started writing about ten years ago. As this blog has grown and evolved, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and so my daily life changed focus pretty quickly. My days are now filled with research and therapies and learning what the best new thing is to try to get (and keep) myself healthy. In addition to the MS, I also battle with ADHD, anxiety, panic and depression, insomnia and a whole host of digestive issues, so I'm always looking for the best natural therapy, supplement or diet to see what works best for me. Since every person and body is different, I started sharing my own experiences and what I've learned so that it could potentially help others, too.  

I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me that so many people have connected with my writing. The earlier posts on this blog helped me through a very vulnerable time in my life. It was such an incredibly heartwarming experience to have so many people engage in my writing back then and still stay connected now. It helped me to know that I wasn't alone, and while social media can have harmful effects in many ways, one of the wonderful things it has brought to so many of us is a stronger sense of community. 

As always, I'm so grateful to have you on this journey with me! If there is something you'd like to have me write about, please shoot me a note. I'd love to hear from you!
