Until 2005 not many new paintings have been added to my pages on our site since I was allowed to add the Queen Mary 2 paintings at the beginning of 2004. I had finished these paintings in June 2003, but this was heavy going: it took me over a week just to sign them, constantly wiping off and redoing the characters. My husband had to help me to varnish them. Correction, he had to varnish them.
.
At the start of August that year I was diagnosed with very aggressive secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. That should have been the end of my painting career, but here you will out what happened next. This may also hopefully help other people in a similar position, though hopefully not as bad as mine.

"Ignoring the Evidence" was
David's story of how he pulled
me back from the brink, this is
my version. Click on the face.

I would like to say here how
eternally grateful I am not only
to him but also to Ram Sriram
and Charles Stratton, both of
Vanderbilt University, Nashville,
Tennessee who have done all the
research into the link between
Multiple sclerosis and the
ubiquitous chlamydia pneumoniae.

CPnhelp.org: a site with emerging information about CPn infection and treatment for MS and other diseases, with contributions by both patients and professionals.

Started late summer 2005, it has grown enormously since then and includes includes work by both the team at Vanderbilt University who have done most of the research into CPn and its role in the development of MS, and by David Wheldon, my husband, who treats me and a lot of other people in the UK, and Michael Powell MD, based in Sacramento, who treats people from all parts of the US, specialising in Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia.

Empirical antibacterial treatment of infection with Chlamydophila pneumoniae in Multiple Sclerosis

A constant dream of those
who can no longer walk

 

A constant dream
of those who can no longer walk
is the running over level sands.
In the close and confined air
the dream recurs—
the running over level sands,
no hunger for the air
which comes like nature to the breath,
no flight upon a freedom
for the spirit freely is,
no sight taken for a course
for all that being takes unto itself
is a running over level sands.
