Thanks for the medical advice as well. Like I’ve mentioned, I’ve been through the gammut of alternative medicine- many different practitioners, methods, and dietary changes. Eventually, I was diagnosed with a known medical condition, and because of it’s seriousness, I’m monitered by several different doctors and have had many different opinions. I’m usually all for choosing nutritional and lifestyle changes over traditional medical options, but in my case, I’m glad those changes didn’t help, as it forced me to seek a solution elsewhere. With the progressive nature of this disease, it’s a good thing I didn’t wait too much longer to turn to the medical profession or I could have been in much worse shape.
So, all that to say, I really do appreciate the advice you’ve given 🙂 This has been incredibly physically and emotionally tough, and I’m always holding out for a new discovery or treatment that will help me and the many others like me, and I’m always interested in hearing about different solutions!

Thank you all for your replies! It’s encouraging to hear that there are other options out there, especially with recording. I haven’t seriously considered it in the past, but from the small amount of recording I’ve done, I think it’s something I’d really enjoy. I’m looking forward to doing some research and trying it out!

Thanks for sharing your experiences! I’m interested in both music therapy as a health-care career and using those skills in a palliative care setting (maybe not for pay, but just as a helping hand). I’ve also been intrigued by your comments about using music for those on the autistic spectrum- I’m definitely planning on doing more research on that!
As an alternative to the traditional degree in Music Therapy, are there any training organizations that would suggest I take a look at? In other words, organizations that would allow me to follow a similar career path? I’ve been looking around the internet, trying to get a good idea of the different options out there, but there aren’t a lot of specific answers.
Thanks again!

Have you tried the Harp Borrowing Club on facebook? A lot of the members live over in Ireland/UK, and I’ve always had a good experience with them. Good luck!
