The importance of diet

Hi all. Every year I feel a little more stronger and I attribute a lot of this to a good diet. Right now I feel a million dollars. I'm quite strict about what I eat and strive for a balanced diet. I also consume a lot of water and don't drink alcohol and have never smoked. I just try to keep it simple: good quality meat, fresh fruit and veggies. I limit the 'junk' and processed foods.

Myositis Conference - August 2013

I've just got back from attending the Myositis Conference which was held in Adelaide. It was quite a success. I heard some interesting speakers - two speakers came out from America. One was a medical specialist and the other was one of the founding fathers of The Myositis Association in the USA. It was interesting to learn that people are looking at new ways of treating and ultimately trying to find a cure for these diseases. Hopefully I will have the links up for the talks soon. I also met quite a few people with various forms of Myositis from all over Australia. I met some people who are interested in helping out. We are also looking at organising a conference for Juvenile Myositis to be held in Sydney in the future.

MAA Conference - Adelaide

I'm so looking forward to attending the Myostis Association of Australia's annual conference,  held in Adelaide this year in August. I'm looking forward to meeting the children and their families who are going through Juvenile Myositis. Hopefully I can share some of my own experiences and provide a little hope :)

A new song I wrote and would like to share

Hi, it's been a while I know! First I had a flu that grounded me for a couple of weeks. I guess it's flu season here. Also I've been working on new songs. Here's a little song I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I dedicate this to all of you reading this blog. Hope you enjoy.
