About Plano's Support Group Co-Leader

Clarine "Skipp" Andresen

My spondylitis diagnosis developed following an unusual course which began with a colon infection and subsequent development of reactive arthritis in 2002, leading eventually to the diagnoses of axial spondylitis in 2004 and psoriatic arthritis in 2010. I prefer exploring alternative therapies to alleviate my pain and inflammation, along with taking prescribed mainstream medications.

A professional musician, researcher and writer, and a former adjunct music professor, I am committed to doing my best to stay active through my disease and pain. Among my passions are my two herding dogs, and I was able to run competitive dog agility with my border collie for several years.

I enjoy reading medical journals and I believe knowledge is our empowerment.
