| So much to do, but not enough time! |
I joined the Scleroderma Society U.K. and began posting on ISN as Ohboyoklahoma around 18 months ago. I've increased my involvement with the Scleroderma Society by becoming an advice line volunteer, trustee and webmaster of the website. I became webmaster because I wanted to create a U.K. site as vibrant, informative and user friendly as ISN's. Thankfully Shelley Ensz invited the Scleroderma Society U.K. to become an ISN affiliate so I'm now also the ISN Sclero Forums Support Specialist for the Scleroderma Society U.K. Visit our U.K. Forum! Having scleroderma allows me the privilege of interacting with amazing people. I have always believed that there's life, good life to be had after scleroderma, it's just that life looks nothing like you thought it would but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I want others to believe this, to have access to safe, relevant information about their disease and to be able to interact with others about or with scleroderma. In October 2009, I expanded my involvement by volunteering as an ISN Email Support Specialist, as well. In this role, I am responsible for answering most of the private emails submitted to the main site (in English). I'm lovin' the weird 'n' wacky world of sclero.org and I am particularly looking forward to helping people who are newly diagnosed, as I remember clearly what it was like to reach out for help myself when newly diagnosed. My email address is amanda-thorpe@sclero.org. |
