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.

OVEREATERS
ANONYMOUS
Lori H. who doesn't
divulge her full name,
like the other members of
Overeaters Anonymous -
swears by the success of
the 12-step program of re-
covery for compulsive eat-
ers.
"This is the only thing in
my life that has gotten the
wmght off and kept it off,"
she said.
Since 2006, Lori has at-
tended Overeaters Anony-
mous meetings from 5:30-
6:30 p.m. every Thursday
in the Washington Room at
Mason General Hospital.
The members support
each other in their battles
with obesity, anorexia, bu-
limia and other eating dis-
orders.
"It's not just the physi-
cal parL the excessive
weight, but the obsession
with food." she said.
The members talk about
nutrition, and the physical.
emotional and spiritual
aspects of their struggles
with food, Lori said.
"We talk about ways to
manage things in life that
we would normally overeat
to," she said.
There are no member-
ship fees and no weigh-ins.
The bond goes beyond
food. Members recently
mowed the lawn of a mem-
ber who was injured.
"We help each other be
strong," Lori said.
