MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS The Multiple Sclerosis Support Group, which is affiliated with the Multiple Sclerosis Society, meets from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month at the E1 Sarape restaurant, 318 W. Rail- road Ave., Shelton. The group, which av- erages about 10 partici- pants, is for people who suffer from MS, and their friends and family mem- bers, said Debbie Zillner, who co-leads the group with Linda Sorenson. One member has two daugh- ters who suffer from the disease, she said. "We talk about what's going on in our lives," she said. "That's how we share." Zillner, who has the dis- ease, attended a support group in Federal Way be- fore moving to Lake Cush- man in 2000 and joining the Shelton group. The dis- ease affects her left side, while others feel the pain in their neck. "You kind of learn that everyone has similar prob- lems with MS, but they're all uniquely different," Zillner said. Finding an adequate meeting site has been a challenge. Stairs are diffi- cult for many of the mem- bers, some who use scoot- ers, Zillner said. The group gathered at a different E1 Sarape un- til a new pool table made the room too crowded. A private room at a Chinese restaurant worked well, until the group was moved to anothdr location that re- quired conquering stairs. Meeting in the middle of a Denny's offered no privacy, but the downtown Shelton E1 Sarape has been accom- modating, Zillner said. For information,call Zillner at 877-6959.
