As a woman in your 40s, you have “caught the spirit” of your life. You are recognizing what challenges you and discovering pathways to success and satisfaction. Now is the time to turn your awareness of good health into ACTION.

About 5 months ago, a very, very wonderful and blessed thing happened. For the first time, in my life since being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1993, my dear husband GOT ME HEALTH INSURANCE!!! It is of fantastic quality too! I have not been to any type of doctor as of yet... kind of overwhelmed with the idea of "where to start" I guess. Anyway, I was thinking about trying THIS: http://www.stjohnsmercy.org/services/heart/wellness/pulse.asp What do ya think, does it sound good?
