Hello! Quick Greeting.

Hello,

My name is Zoleeta and I was diagnosed with Relapse-Remitting MS April 21, 2015.

I am a 27 WAH mom to a beautiful 5 year old daughter, Luna. She is my world.

I live in a rural area of Texas about 45 minutes east of Waco. I don't really have any support groups and no one really understands what MS is and that can get very frustrating.

I look forward to meeting new people and making new friends!

Thank you for reading!

It's very nice to meet you! I would love to get to know you since you've been dealing with MS for much longer than I have.

How far away is Georgetown from Groesbeck ?

Good morning Zoleeta, it is Fancy1959, a Community Ambassador, welcoming you to this incredible chat room. You have found dozens of people to talk to and who will listen. We are all on this same bumpy, rough, and curving road that MS leads us down. Somewhere in this chat room there will be fellow MSers that have faced or are facing the same problems you are. There are so many different people here and each will give you a different perspective and solutions to how they solved the problem you're having. You of course always have to put your doctors opinion and solution for problems you're having up in the front of your mind. Sometimes we simply give you common sense solutions and tricks we have learned to ease the problems that MS is causing.

We have become more of a family than a chat room. We would love to invite you to join our family and have dozens of people to talk to, laugh with, and cry with when times get tough. You will find that together we are so much stronger. I would like to invite you to become an MS Warrior. As an MS Warrior we never give up and we never give in to our MS. We simply fight on. So Zoleeta, join us as we fight our common enemy, MS, like a warrior! Fight on!

Hi, Zoleeta and welcome to this fabulous site. I was diagnosed with RRMS at age 57. My children were grown but it did manage to rob me of my career. However, I am still learning to cope even after 6 yrs. And while my husband tries very hard to understand, he has his own problems and I find it very useful to talk with others who actually walk in your shoes. Just when you think that you are suffering from a symptom that nobody else has ever had or that you are going absolutely crazy because your fingers are so numb that you can't feel them, you can just go here and you will find lots of other MS warriors who do have the same symptoms and how they have dealt with it. I feel as if these people are my friends and they really do understand!

Hi Zoleeta, my name is Shaena. I'm 32 years old and live in Cleveland, OH with my 4 year old little girl, Taylor. I was diagnosed with MS on the 8th of this month but I've feared for many years that I had this disease. It reached a point recently where I had to go to the hospital and that's when I was finally diagnosed. So far I This place is new to me and seems to be a great support group/space. I hope that you look around and that you begin to enjoy it as much as I have so far!
