About Me
Post MS: wifeless, childrenless, jobless, just less, I guess. I feel as if I'm in a dream. Pre-MS and a short time after I "shorted" out with what I now know was MS I had been happily married with 2 beautiful daughters. I had worked in the following fields, usually 4 yrs at a whack, in order of subliminally declining physical prowess: 1.US ARMY/COMBAT MEDIC stationed in Alabama, Texas, Germany, Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC. (cardio-thoracic surgery unit) 2.Nursing Assistant (PG County, MD)and EMT (Germany) 3.Worked as a bar bouncer/security at various bars from Htown to Kirchgoens, Germany 4. Veterinary technician/assistant 4 hospitals/2 Animal ER's (PG County, MD/Washington, DC & Huntington, WV 5. Mental Health worker at a state ran mental hospital (part nursing assistant/part bouncer) Huntington, WV 6. Traumatic Brain Injury rehab worker in an assisted living home environment Huntington, WV & Ashland, KY 7. Telemarketer Huntington, WV 8. Webmaster of my own "commercial" website (now defunct)Huntington, WV
Interests
In no particular order: the web, philosophy, animals, genetics, spirituality, paranormal stuff, reading; (science fiction/fantasy/horror)well, anything but "romance", music (from bluegrass to reggae to jazz) Hard rock/heavy metal/alternative seems to be the steady, including the concerts and festivals I like to attend. It's better to burn out than to fade away, as Neil Young once sang.

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSDiagnosed in July 2007. S&S have been with me since 2001, at least. My inability to diagnose myself (or even realize a diagnosis was necessary) and my inherent avoidance of medical treatment has cost me everything from my family to my self-employment. It's time (past-time) to regroup.
Treatments
- Copaxone Somewhat Helpful
- Started September 14th, 2007. Seems to be affecting (for the better) the following: numbness/tingling of hands/feet & also helps with my L'Hermitte's especially the "pressure" ? at the base of my neck.
- DailyStrength Working / Worked
- THANKS FOR PROVIDING ME WITH AN OUTLET & A RESOURCE FOR DEALING WITH MS.
- Ginkgo Too Soon to Tell
- JUST STARTED
- Music Working / Worked
- MUSIC & SAVAGE BEAST...NEED I SAY MORE?
