Hi.

I'm a 2004 graduate of Case Western Reserve University (BS in Biology (molecular), BA in German Language) and have worked in the biotech and academic fields as a basic researcher. This is how I have gained knowledge in neurobiology, pharmacology, and related fields.

In addition, I will admit that I have been on the business end of many diseases and disorders, including a VSD (so severe it was closed when I was just 9 months old), a few mild mental disturbances (that haven't gotten in the way of my job/s), and more recently, a debilitating, chronic (3 years lasting so far!) febrile illness that came with neurological involvement, as well as severe fatigue and resultant unemployment. Ah yes, and can't forget the anemia that also came with it. Have been told it's likely a bug, ID pending.

The latter is perhaps why I'm most interested in becoming a member of the "WikiMed" family. I don't have an MD (or PhD, or anything more than a bachelor's degree!), so do NOT construe anything I say as medical advice. I'm here to try and discuss the science of health, and not your diagnosis.

Any specific questions that you require for a diagnosis should be directed towards one of your own healthcare professionals, and not me.

(n.B. to oncologists/neuro-oncologists... sorry for the morbid SN!)
