I'm new here...but ms has been with me for almost 30 years. I say that today with no other sarcastic or rude comments. Thus today is a pretty good day: i am feeling well, I have some money in my checking account, I am reluctantly accepting the fact that I cannot drive safely. Could be better. Could be worse 🤷🏽‍♀️ Iced coffee sounds good right about now. I look forward to getting to know you all 🌻

BalanceRUS Welcome to our group. Sometimes we lighten things up with hobbby pictures, cartoons, or in my case birds and animals that I can find.

Indeed it is a good day, BalanceRUS . At it's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm sorry to hear that driving is becoming hazardous for you. It's been probably 10 years since I handed over my keys, and it still hurts some times.

Make yourself at home, and we look forward to getting to know you.

Hi eleyne92. Is a pleasure to meet you too. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am cringing about the car. She'll be in the driveway for ~3 more days. I keep wondering if I'm being too dramatic but then recall that I'm not the only one at risk. I'll be cringing for awhile I guess : {

BalanceRUS welcome to the group! I'm Jessie. I have had MS for 10 years and can not drive as my dizziness is such that I don't feel safe to do it. It was a hard fact to accept, but it is what it is. Look forward to getting to know you.

WELCOME! I'm happy you're here, not that we all have MS and that brings us together, but I've found everyone here to be great! I know I'll discover that about you as well! I also know I'll learn much from you.

So many new members I'm losing track, then again I can always blame my cog fog-hahaha! Welcome one and all and I know you'll get the info, support and friendship here I've found!

Hi, I have also had MS for about 30 years. I finally got it under control but now I can't walk because my bones keep breaking from severe osteoporosis. All those steroids sure didn't help. But I can still work, and I have a job where I can sit down. My motto is it can always be worse!
