musicians with MS

[h_odonnell]

I'm looking for professional musicians suffering from MS:

I'll be conducting interviews over the coming months for an article and presentation with musicians (instrumentalists and singers) who have "non-playing-related musculoskeletal disorders", that means an illness (for example: MS, Parkinson's, auto-immune or ataxic disorder, stroke, etc.) that affects their ability control their movements, hence their ability to continue playing (or singing). I'd be grateful for leads.

Hi Rierie, I'll be conducting a qualitative research study on musicians with so-called "non-playing-related musculoskeletal disorder", meaning dysfunction that didn't arise from misuse or overuse at the instrument, but from another health issue (neurodegenerative disease, auto-immune disease, stroke, etc.) I'm looking for people to participate in a survey. If you're interested, please let me know. In the meantime, I've set up a FB page to start a dialog on this: facebook.com/musiciansdisease. Feel free to join.

Sure. Let me know.
