Hello, I am new to the group, but not new to MS. I have had MS for 29 years and have done relatively well. MS has opened doors that I had never dreamed about. MS has allowed to get to know people that would not have otherwise met. MS has allowed to serve people for whom I would have not had the opportunity to serve. MS provided for me doctoral dissertation topic on coping with chronic illness. When I was first diagnosed with MS and someone at church services said that she was going to pray that I not have MS. I replied, "I have MS and God allow me to bless people because of my MS.

When I was diagnosed there were no medications to provide hope for people with MS. Today there are several to choose from. I am thankful for that. I am thankful to lessons that MS has taught me. I no longer take seeing a beautiful flower for granted, as I did before. Because of MS, I have lost part of my vision, so I no longer take my vision for granted. Yes, I have had to make adjustments to my life. No, I don't know how everything is going to turn out, but that is alright. God has blessed me and He will continue to bless me.

That's what we're all about here! Yes, we face the challenges and don't deny they exist. But most of us would agree that MS has brought many good things and people into our lives. My faith is only stronger, too.

Thanks for joining in with us. I hope you find this to be an extended family as I have, with tons of ideas and support.
