We all - or many of us anyway - find ourselves in one at one time or another. I seem to have an inbuilt homing device for these. I just …

About Me
Hi there and thanks for reading my profile. Just had another look at it and realised what was there was past it's sell by date ...so here's the current version. I'm 47, a Careers Advisor (self employed running my own consultancy), separated (permanently), no kiddies (unless you count a nudnick for a cat). I live in the UK, although originally I'm from NY - got exported in '89 and haven't been back since. Lived in the Middle East for a few years then returned to the UK. I originally joined DS for the MS group and have since joined the Separation and Divorce club. The MS because - yep, you guessed it - I've got it and wasn''t dealing with it very well. although since improved a bit on that front. The Divorce club because the troll (he whose name has been stricken from the records) pissed off with another bird (lots of names for her but we'll stick with that for the moment). There's nothing unusual about leaving a marriage you're unhappy in, particularly if you've found someone else. However, it's not so much *what* the creep did, but how he did it - read my journal if you're interested in more on that. Since the troll pissed off, I've met someone else (again in the journal) and have come out of my cave and self imposed exile. The humiliation from the effects of this sodden disease is still there, but I'm learning to rise above it (sort of). Life sucks. Or rather, what's that expression? Life's a bitch, then you marry one then you die...hmph, may be some truth in that lol

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Progressive Relapsing MSDx'd in '95 and for better or worse, have chosen not to take any drugs. I gorge myself on vitimins and supplements, stay away from foods containing saturated fat, try and get at least a little bit of exercise in each day (not always successfully). The MS has gotten progressively worst over the years, in particular since 2004 when we lost our furbaby to bastard cancer. I'm now trying to come to grips with the idea of using forearm crutches (up til now it's been a cane and that is a joke).
Close Breakups & Divorce
Made redundant, recycled and replace after 15 years of marriage.
