    About Me

    I used to write tech manuals for the State of OH, but now I am a SAHM. I love traveling new places, cool museums (like Natural history in NYC) My favorite places to go are Aruba & Hilton Head. Someday, Dh and I would love to build a house in Aruba. I love to read sci fi, mystery and (some) romance. I sill love to go to the pool or even better, the beach! I jsut make sure I spend as much time IN the water as OUT of it! :)

    Interests

    We have 2 cocketiels (Reggie and Gus) which we raised from birth. Our son wants a bird for 'his' pet but he is not old enough for that. I love to do things outdoors! I have started 'training' for the New Albany classic b/c I definately want to do it again this year. It is only 10K (6.2 miles) but I don't want to have troulve from mile 4 onward... I also LOVE to read. Sci -Fi, Mystery, romance, thrillers, you name it. I would love to take some cooking classes but I am not sure where to look for them...

      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      I guess I am a 'lucky one'b/c my symptoms happened all at once. I started having trouble 1 wk after my first wedding anniversary. Fist it was drop foot, then staggering and then the pain, you know when you skin hurts? or it feels like it is too tight? It was probable in June 98 and definate in Aug of the same year. MY DH and my son are a big help to me

      I liked it b/c the shots were just under the skin but the meds just din't work on me

      This stuff always works with a flare up

    • Open Asthma
      Type: Adult Asthma

      Newly DX TODAY: I have been having trouble all summer. I just kept getting more and more tired, and it felt like there was a weight on my chest, espcially when I tried to take a deep breath. I finally said enough was enough and went to the dr. I was worried that somehow it was all in my head, or that my other conditions were causing this. You see, I Have MS and Fibro as well.Good thing I have no drup allergies! :)
