    • About Me

      Hi I am a warm sweet caring type of person who my friends love so very much. My life has been rough growing up, but I suppose everyone goes through a rough time at one stage in their life. I am an active member in Rescue with the State Emergency Service (SES) and have been back for 5 yrs now.I am now also qualified in Air Search & Rescue with AusSAR. Having MD hasn't stopped me living the life I want as it was taken away from me at an early age. (read journal) Im not giving up on life just to go into a wheelchair and give up everything. Well if you want to add me as a friend, please do I'd love to have more friends on here. There are a few special people in my life and some are on here but the most important ones are my new partner, my kids & my 2 step daughters.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I have Muscular Dystrophy and I get a lot of pain most times, especially before, during and after storms.But I have to put up with it as I do storm jobs.

      Treatments

      Heat Somewhat Helpful
      Goanna Heat cream I find works till it wears off
      Morphine Considering
      this is the next step they want me to try, I have valium tabs at home, but they knock me right out and stay in my system for up to 3 days.
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      I was told Im too fit for hydrotheraphy, but not strong enough to go to gym.
    • Close Syringomyelia

      I have one in my spinal cord about 5 cms long from tip to tail in the thorasic area. The top neurosurgeon doesn't want it touched as it will put me on 4 wheels.

    • Open Muscular Dystrophies

      I am a sufferer of Muscular Dystrophy and like to get in touch with others.

    • Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I started smoking back in the early 90's to help cope with stress. I gave up in 2006 and lasted for about 3 weeks. I went from smoking to chewing gum every time I wanted a smoke. When my ex wife started up with her shit, I started smoking again. Now I want to try and give it back up hopefully for good this time. I would like a smoke free life again.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      bought gum instead of smokes
      Smoking Cessation Class Somewhat Helpful
      gave me ideas on how to Quit for life
      Willpower Not Working
      When I get stressed too much, I seem to smoke more
