| Toastmasters challenges me |
I’ve been doing Toastmasters over ten years. It has become my marker for the beginning of my forward progress with MS. Toastmasters challenges the brain, so it’s always an adventure and needed.
What I like about Toastmasters is the mental stimulation. Doing a speech for the club, requires logical thinking, organizing ideas and practice. It's also an exercise in memory and articulation. I need all this and more. Since giving my first Ice breaker speech over ten years ago, I have progressed from 1) reading my written speech; to 2) talking from an outline, to 3) speaking with no notes.

Weekly practice is a key for me. The older I get, the slower my brain seems to process information. Also, articulating exactly what I want to say is harder. I think, that with MS, my brain needs regular training just like muscles.
Speech giving is only one piece of what we do. We also practice thinking when we evaluate another member’s speech and give impromptu responses to prompts. Constructive evaluation is important for the speaker and a valuable skill for the member evaluating. As speakers we get encouragement and praise but more important is help overcoming speaking problems. Joke telling is my nemesis. I continue working on it!
I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) after experiencing severe fatigue, poor balance, numbness, double vision, heat intolerance, and anxiety. My condition became so difficult that I was unable to return to work. Over the years, I tried several conventional treatments, including Betaseron and other injectable medications for about six years, but unfortunately, the side effects often made me feel very sick. In May of last year, I decided to try the Multiple Sclerosis Herbal Formula from www madibaherbalcenter com . After using the herbal treatment consistently for three months, I experienced a remarkable improvement in my condition. Many of my symptoms gradually declined, including vision problems, numbness, fatigue, and balance issues. Today, I feel much healthier and stronger, and there are times I completely forget I ever struggled with MS. My experience with the herbal formula has been truly life-changing, and I am very grateful for the improvement I have experienced.Here is their contact info to order the herbal cure: ww w. madibaherbalcenter com or (Call/SMS): +1 540 559 1146
