About Me
I'm a "professional student" in music performance but I also love learning about alternative therapies or hopping on my bike to enjoy some high speed fresh air.

Close Scoliosis
Found out I had two thoracic curves over 20 degrees during my second year of university. Had lots of problems playing the viola and finally found the cause. Still trying to manage it without giving up playing.
Treatments
- CranioSacral Therapy Not Working
- Didnt work but a great reminder to keep positive and stay relaxed.
- Ibuprofen Not Working
- Honestly I found it useless.
- Massage Working / Worked
- Helps with muscle tension that builds up.
- Osteopathy Somewhat Helpful
- Was helpful until the osteopath started working only on one group of muscles in my lower right leg and I stopped feeling improvements in my back. Asked him to keep working on my back and shoulder but he wouldn't. End of treatment. Also, very costly.
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- Received good exercises to help rotator cuff problems and help even out the muscles in my back.
- Pilates Working / Worked
- Had this every day for three weeks last summer in a very small group setting. Our instructor has scoliosis and has had surgery so she was especially helpful to me. Wish I could see her regularly!!!
Close Shingles
Had Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome when I was 15, misdiagnosed for two weeks and on lots of meds (can't remember them all, there were 6). Half of my face was paralyzed and I had sharp pain in the ear of that side. Lost faith in conventional medicine after this. PCP was great and tried his best to get me to see the right specialist.
Treatments
- Corticosteroids Not Working
- Not sure if they helped or not but as they were prescribed for Bell's Palsy and nothing cleared up until I got on the right medication I'd say no they didn't work.
- Famvir Working / Worked
- I took Famciclovir after seeing a specialist two weeks after my face was paralyzed and everything started to clear up right away.
- Massage Working / Worked
- After the spots cleared up I was still really stiff and my neck wouldnt move. After the massage I felt like doing cartwheels!
Open Medical Mysteries
Made my "medical mystery" debut at 15 and had a good doctor then, he got to the bottom of a rare condition. Now I have a very serious medical mystery and a terrible doctor.
Treatments
- Cycling Working / Worked
- I do this for the endorphins those lovely things that wash away pain and frustration.
