About Me
I am an MS Support group leader in the State of Oregon, researcher, writer, grants writer, serve on the Board of Directors of an independent living center, and University Board of Directors. I volunteer for the MSAA, MSF, and NMSS. I use a power scooter for long distance mobility, as I do not drive.... I use a lot of herbals and vitamins to deal with my MS and diabetes..... I have dealt with a lot of severe discrimination, and sometimes things take me back to those days and I become depressed..... I own a cat, but otherwise live alone, and enjoy the peace! .....I am an organic gardener. I quilt, sew, knit, and enjoy baking new recipes and sweet breads. Two of my favorite foods to bake and eat are carrot bread and pumpkin bread. One of my favorite foods is smelt (a small fresh stream fish), but pollution has dwindled its runs from when I was a teen and would net them myself...... The photo is of a quilt at the annual quilt show in Sisters, OR.
Interests
My interest is in learning--all aspects of learning, and about everything.

Hug
i'm so sorry you're exhausted.... obviously we all know how that feels.... i've leaned every which-way and waited but 5 to 20 minutes later without having drank anything i have to go again.... and/or when i stand up from going feeling like i'm done/not voiding there's still urine coming out... and it concerns me since i only have 2 tiny lesions and no bladder infection... oh well, i'll get it taken care of eventually
Hug
i also have the web like rash and yes it is related to the ms..it is related through a med given for fatigue...there are quite a few of us who are experiencing the same side effect...sigh...it is rare but it is out there...so it is related to the MS.... hugs heather

Support Groups
Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Seconday Progressive MSI have had MS for about 25 years, diabetes for 20 years, sleep apnea, and use a C-pap machine. I like high quality cuisine. I have experienced a lot of severe discrimination due to my disabilities, and have an ongoing problem that my mind goes over and over the events time after time, never letting go, and driving me crazy at times. I would like a friend to share writing/editing. I appreciate friends who are intelligent, motivated to be independent, & making the most of their lives.

- Due to my sleep apnea I was unable to breathe when I lied down and thus had to quit the class.
