About Me
I am an early retired 56 year old Software developer recently moved to Missoula to a less stressful situation. I don't drive anymore but walk and use the bus system to get around. I have a positive outlook, love theater, cinema and the few good friends that I have. I was married for 22 years (too many of which were not blissful) but I had always believed marriage was forever plus I had 3 kids (2 older boys and youngest daughter who is now 18 and in college).

Interests
Lots of stuff. Life. I love being alive and learning new things or about new things. I always enjoyed reading and believe the ability to read is the greatest gift we can give to our children or anyone. Now I enjoy reading histories (not as fast as I was). I like the outdoors, used to backpack but don't do that anymore. Want to ski again, heck, I skied right up until I was diagnosed so why not now? I walk for exercise so I am intrigued by trying some wilderness walks, who knows? I enjoy live theater as well as cinema. I like lectures which makes living in a University town particularly convenient. Basically, I just love life (in spite of those times when things seem down). I love meeting any of you new people here!

Please explain to me how it is just when I begin to think, "I couldn't possible love this guy any more than I already do." Damned if I don't turn around and discover I LOVE you even more!

Type: Seconday Progressive MSFirst diagnosed in '94 after having brain surgery for a mis-diagnosed "hydrocephalous" in '92. Tried the interferon drugs but am now on Copaxone and LDN (Naltrexone).
Treatments

- All of the interferon drugs made me feel a little sick and spacey
- Baclofen Working / Worked
- helps relieve muscle pain in my legs. I think it is great.
- Beta Interferon Working / Worked
- only tried it for about 3 or 4 months. side-effects to hard to live with
- Betaseron Working / Worked
- isn't same as Beta Interferon
- Copaxone Working / Worked
- Use in conjunction with LDN. I get patient assistance for Copaxone
- LDN - Low Dose Naltrexone Working / Worked
- Haven't had an exascerbation since I started it 2 1/2 years ago. Note that my life is much less stressful now as well.
- Rebif Working / Worked

Close Healthy Sex
Born MO, raised SOCAL. Traveled through Europe before married (at almost 30) and only work related during marriage. Can't say it was a great marriage, but did last for 23 years. First few years wife and I had great sex but diminished over time. Divorded for 5 years now and I would not only love a close female friend but wouldn't mind sexual closeness.
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- Hoping for the right person
