I'm New to THIS Site...

[Tracy_M]

Hi ALL!! I'm new to THIS site, I have been on other MS sites tho. Probably most recognizable is "Patients Like Me", I really enjoyed that site. I joined in its infancy, I received lots of support & information. I found it to be a great help; somewhere along the line, I found the site turned negative- at times, bullying. I left that group and haven't joined another group until this group. My wish is that this site will be a safe and positive place to express your inner most self without judgement... Thanks for listening! Tracy❣

Hi Tracy_M let me be the 1st to welcome you. So far l think we are all pretty new here and we ok well l do anyway, just toss issues out there. We all seem to come together to give advice and support and try to deal with this monster they call MS

@Tracy_M, Hi! I'm new here too but was also at Patients Like Me for a short time, not long after it started up. At one point I even had a Patients Like Me Tshirt. I haven't been back there in many years. I've had MS for over 30 years--probably about 38 years (diagnosed in 1980 but symptoms started a couple of years earlier). Looking forward to reading what you have to say!

Good morning Tracy_M and welcome. I have been on her for about a week or two. Everyone here has been helpful and positive from what I have read. We are here for the same reason as you, to have a support system that truly understands what we are going through and what we are saying.

I hope you have a good weekend.

Hi Tracy!

Just joined now and as well looking for a safe place to share thoughts, ideas, and struggles without any judgement. So I agree, hope that this community can serve as that place.

I was just diagnosed earlier this month, so things have been overwhelming to say the least but it's all about the mindset. Thinking positively and moving forward with my new lifestyle. Although I will remain true to myself and admit that some days... Just SUCK while others give me strength to have gratitude.

Anyways, it's nice to meet you and looking forward to this forum!

Take care,

Jaz

Welcome to our My MSAA Community, Tracy_M ! We also hope that this site continues to be and feel like a safe place for everyone in the MS community to share their thoughts/questions/advice.

In only a few weeks, we think it's already well on its way - thanks to people like you and the hundreds of other MMC members!

John, MSAA

I sense this whole site is fairly new unlike BrainTalkCommunities which is close to 20 years old or MS World at about 15 years or MS foundation (msfocus.org/forums) also the same age. Many have and "Ask the Dr or Ask the MS Nurse" but others just let us share our experiences with each other.

Thank you to y’all for your Warm WeLcome! It’s been a “minute” since I’ve been back! Nothing has changed for me since my joining MSAA.

I’m still SPMS, I haven’t used any DMD type meds since I was re-dx’d with SPMS. I do use meds to treat my symptoms; Baclofen for spasticity & Norco for pain. I also use Warfarin (blood thinner), 10,000iu Vitamin D3 and a

sublingual B12 2500mg, and Celexa. That’s It!

Looking forward to your Comments! Thanks!!
