Need Advice!!! Do I have to tell friends about MS??

I'm going on the Dominican Republic in about 7 days!!!!

I'm so excited - I can't wait to get on sandy beaches and feel the wind in my hair.. Ok what on earth could be bothering me??
Well everytime I travel to a humid state - I have trouble with the heat when I 1st arrive. It's like my body needs to get used to being that hot with no relief.. I live in Colorado so we don't have humidity. I have shortness of breath and it's a little scary . .. it happened in Aruba and Miami and on my recent trip to Florida..

I like my travel mates but I don't want to tell them about my MS... I 've kept my diagnosis to a small group of friends and family and these ladies are my friends but they frankly don't need to know...

Should I tell them for principles sake ... I hate that I even have to think about this...

Tanning and other news..

Wow - It's been a minute...

So tomorrow, I have oral surgery (not related to MS) - I'm sooo not looking forward to this but it has to happen. - I think it's making my MS flare up a small bit..

Feeling tired and sluggish. - more than usual. I'm not sure if that's the Rebif or just MS..

on other news. Don't judge me but I got a spray tan. Now that wouldn't be major news other than the fact that I am African American and quite a chocolate shade at that. You are probably asking why would I EVER do that... I probably would lose my "black" card if I was found out lol .. Kidding.. there's not a card.. :)
- Well a friend told me that when African Americans get spray tanned it gives our skin an amazing glow and takes away the un-even tones in our skin. She was RIGHT!! It looks amazing - I'm by no means hooked but I would def do it again..

I think the funniest part was waking into the Denver Tanning Salon in a room full of my Caucasian sisters. - They weren't sure if used to be white and had gotten the best tan ever or if i was lost.. It was hilarious!!

Here's to a summer of trying new things..

What have you tried?
