About Me
A life long Alaskan, I am dealing with MS, and just beginning treatment. I am looking for friends--more than that, friends who understand and that I can talk to, and to be the same to you. I am pursing a doctorate in clinical psychology.

Interests
I love to play my guitar and sing-lots of folk music: John Denver, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, GORDON LIGHTFOOT. A lot more and popular music as well. I love to do Wheel thrown pottery and glazing. I've just discovered 'THE SOUP'-it's hilarous! (With Joel McHale) It's humor that I sorely need!

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Seconday Progressive MSTo update what I wrote awhile ago (just below this paragraph): After a long time of suspicion (mine), an MRI done 9/07 showed many MS plaques in my brain. It wasn't a shock really, but it was like the back door of doubt was closed forever, and now I have to face MS head on. At least now I can begin drug treatment. I want to get this pain under control. My eyesight and other symptoms are irreversible, but perhaps the progression can be slowed. There are no MS specialists in Alaska.
Treatments
- Baclofen Somewhat Helpful
- Swank Diet Working / Worked
- Just getting going on it.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've been depressed since childhood. I got worse with the birth of my children.
Treatments
