    • About Me

      I'm an artist. Mainly drawing and recently I have experimented with sculpting, and a little giddy child in me comes out when I get to have an educated conversation about art history with someone. i am a good listener even though im close to deaf. I just started up school as a transfer at massart after a 2 year break.

      I am always here to listen so dont hesitate to message me if you see me on even if you dont know me. I hear from a lot of people and agree that a lot of times the groups can be more irritating than anything else because they are rather impersonal. Fact is that when someone posts something on a discussion wall they are doing it for a reason and often upset; when someone is looking for help and someone to talk to about them, it is difficult for them to fully understand someone elses problem. This is why I like the chat. It's two way, and if I knowo I am not in a place to help someone else I will let them know that I am having some trouble myself.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
    • Open Rheumatoid Arthritis

      I was diagnosed in third grade and was on a minor chemo treatment for 8 years. Presently not being treated via medication because I feel Ive been over-drugged my whole life. Working on more wholistic treatments. All the medication I was given as a child and forced to take only made me feel inadequate and possibly is one factor in my present troubles.

      Treatments

      Folic Acid Somewhat Helpful
      it was a supplement more than anything else.
      Hydroxychloroquine Somewhat Helpful
      Can't remember
      Methotrexate Somewhat Helpful
      Was on it for 8 years. prolly would be crippled now if it werent for it. But it had severe psychological affects on me as a child.
      Plaquenil Somewhat Helpful
      Not on it anymore. One of the many drugs. Can't remember if it helped or not
      Azulfidine Somewhat Helpful
      on it for 8 years as a child as well. made me feel more dependent on medications but probably helped me physically.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      believe it or not yeah. RA can cause glaucoma depression anxiety and all sorts of issues which I ended up displaying. When Im better psychologically my RA takes a break. But now Im in therapy for more than just that.
      Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
      I was a little unsure as to if this would make it better or worse because of the way that acupuncture works on your immune system and such. But it certainly calmed me and did heal the beginning of a stress fracture. It helped with immediate pain.
