My name is Courtney, I'm 35 years old living waaaaaaaaaay upstate New York originally from Massachusetts. I was diagnosed with MS about a year after relocating here. There isn't a lot of people that truly understand MS and how it can affect us - physically, mentally, and emotionally. The whole "looking OK" thing almost makes seems our symptoms are in our heads to people who don't understand it, it seems like. I don't really like to talk to family about it because I don't want them to worry. So.... I'm hoping maybe when I'm struggling, I'll be able to come here and chat with someone who understands.

Thanks!! 😁

Welcome to our crazy 😝 group of MSers. This is a great place to vent and find out lots of information on MS and it’s effects and how to handle it πŸ‘. I was diagnosed twenty three years ago and have been on seven different DMT’s thu the years. Currently on Aubagio and doing well, no side effects and last MRI stable and no new lesions.😊. This is a great place to find out what people are doing and how to cope πŸ™πŸ˜‰πŸΎ. Ken

Welcome to this wonderful group of friends where you can share, vent, or look around. Some people just don't understand ms and the things we go through but everyone here does.

Look forward to getting to know you.
