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!! ๐Ÿ˜

Welcome to our crazy ๐Ÿ˜ group of MSers. This is a great place to vent and find out lots of information on MS and itโ€™s effects and how to handle it ๐Ÿ‘. I was diagnosed twenty three years ago and have been on seven different DMTโ€™s thu the years. Currently on Aubagio and doing well, no side effects and last MRI stable and no new lesions.๐Ÿ˜Š. This is a great place to find out what people are doing and how to cope ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿพ. Ken
