not only do I keep up a page of reading on ldn and ms...

http://www.vrhotwires.com/Bill_Meikle/MS/LDNandMS.html

but a page of my music:

http://www.vrhotwires.com/Bill_Meikle/music/music.html

the last 2 or 3 tunes are of me playing sax in a club when I was 20

now I'm 41

I didn't play much for my 30's and I can tell!

I just started playing again when my fingers went numb from ms and I

couldn't play...

now I want to go back to music school and refresh before I play too

much more...

it's a lot more fun when you have good chops...

I played guitar, just chords and a little picking, in my 20's but by

the time I was 27, I had three children and little or no personal

time. Anyway, after my kids were no longer demanding of most of my

time, I began trying to practice again. The first few years were

disappointing because my left/right coordination was messed up from

a head injury I received in a car accident at age 27.

As time went on, it got slowly better but then when I started having

MS symptoms in Aug 2002, I not only lost coordination but strength

as well, so for a short while I had to quit playing. Now on LDN,

I've begun practice again. My coordination is not too bad at the

moment but I have to play rather slow. I think with time I will

continue to improve. I wish you luck...if LDN works as good as

everyone says this is just the beginning of good things to come for

both of us.

The only real issue with my guitar is the fact that I have trouble

remembering songs now. I tend to forget where I am... but realizing that I

make music for my pleasure and no one elses has made it much easier to enjoy

my current level of ability. I guess I'll never actually get through

Classical Gas, but I'm still happy with what I can play.

I've learned to relax my self expectations and just enjoy the music.
