Hi, I'm Maggie

[MaggieT1]

I thought I would join as I had been on another "MS Chat Room" but everyone was so superficial. Nobody ever spoke about real issues and if I wanted hearts and emojis I would text my mom. Anyway, I'm really straight forward and I tell it like it is, I look forward to hearing, meeting, or communicating with you.

Welcome! I wish we didn’t share this diagnosis, but I’m glad you found us.

I’ve found such a special group here. I don’t know what I would have done without the support I’ve received here, especially right after the diagnosi.

This is a great place for ideas, venting, getting and giving encouragement, and having quite a few laughs.

We look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi MaggieT1 I’m ssdw1958 sorry we had to meet like this but this is a good place to rant and rave about this monster called MS. We are a great group of people we speak what is on our minds about this disease or about anything else.

I have had MS since 2004 but I know it’s been longer.

But we will be talking in the future I am sure about that have a good day. Good night 💤 for now.

Welcome MaggieT1 ! We talk about our MS and share our thoughts, hobbies, etc. here. We vent, we laugh, we cry but we generally are an upbeat group. Hope you like us and stick around for a bit.

Love your eye patch! I always have one handy.

[MaggieT1 in reply to Iona60]

I lost my eye to cancer when I was a teenager so my husband and I have made more than 100 patches

[Iona60 in reply to MaggieT1]

How creative! Mine are all plain ole black. I use them to prevent migraines from flashing lights.

Hello MaggieT1, it's Fancy1959 and I wanted to walk him into this incredible chat room. We're here anytime you need us and it's a great place to seek information, voice concerns, or simply speak to others who truly understand what you are going through. You'll soon find out that the people in this chat room are some of the most caring, kind, and compassionate people you have ever met. Superficial is fun sometimes and it's good to make yourself laugh at silly things and we do interject quite a bit of that into the chat room to brighten the mood and get away from some of the serious topics we handle frequently. But you're fine a lot of information here and in fact we have a webinar coming up in the near future where you can ask questions to a doctor about the topic involved. This is third or fourth one we done in the past year or so. It's always very informative and you can find out a lot of good information from it. So having said that again I'm glad you found us and remember the more you interact with us the quicker we will get to know you and you will know us. I am certain there is much we can learn from one another. Until we speak again take care and remember together we are stronger! Fancy.

I've been on Extavia since I was diagnosed, it keeps the relapses away but I'm tired of giving myself shots every other day. I'm hoping to change when I see my Neuro next month.

Welcome! You can purse dump here, we all do from time to time.

Hi Maggie,

I’ve tried other”support groups “ and most were anything but. What I like about this community is that you can rant about stuff and share cool things that happen. Either way, you’ll always get a response. Welcome.

[StacyHayward]

Welcome to the neighborhood.

[Doubled51]

Welcome Maggie. You came to the right place for what ever you need. We’re all here for the same reason MS. We all have this monster in common so jump right in and get your feet wet.

Hey Maggie,

You sound like a warrior. You will get emojis and hearts here however you will lots of relevant information, and support. I joined a few months ago, and that is why I stay.

Keep smiling!
