What is one thing you've learned from this site about MS? I've learned so much, I hardly know where to start. The "School of Hard Knocks" has taught me a lot about my own MS, but I've certainly learned that this group has been a wealth of knowledge for me about MS in general.
One thing I've learned, for which I am so grateful, is that my MS is not someone else's MS.

I have learned about O before I started to take it.
I have learned so much that I could write a multi volume reference guide do you remember encyclopedias? It would be updated every 2 seconds because I would've learned something new
I have learned that there are lovely people here with a generous, caring , spirit that make time to help & support others in spite of their own daily struggles.
I e learned that no matter how weird my symptom is someone n this forum has already experienced it. That is so comforting, especially when the neurologist tells me that symptom is not MS. One time I told him quite a few people on the MSAA forum experience the same symptom and he said you better be careful reading those forums you can’t trust them. I quit seeing him and found another doctor. Didn’t like him anyway. This site has helped me through some depressing times. Thanks, everyone. Love and prayers to all.
I have learned so much from this group, and I'm always learning all the time. I have learned to take a list of questions/symptoms with me to my appts so that I don't forget to ask the dr. I have learned about more medications than I have knew about and know I can ask more questions if I have them
This site is so relaxing 😌 with honest friends, right, wrong, or not indifferent. Love hearing how everyone is doing and how there doing it 👍. Along with the smiles and jokes 🙏😉😊 Ken 🐾🐾
I was diagnosed in 2005 and have been enjoying this forum a few months after it started. After much thinking, I think the most important thing I have learned is I am not alone with this disease. ❤️
For me this forum is God sent! There was know one in my circle who had experience with this condition. You guys have taught me so much. I learn more from you than the doctors. Who knows better than those who live with it. So grateful for you all😊
It was for me, too. Just searching on the internet led to mostly "scientific" information, but not the real nuts and bolts of this disease and how to live with it. This group gave me the information I really needed and the emotional support I craved.
One of nanny, countless things I have learned is that this is truly a family here. We love, laugh, and share our ups and downs with one another with no judgement. You are so filled with love. And so many answers. Thank you. Kelly xx
This group feels like family to me. After nine years I still haven't accepted the fact that I have this. When reading through everybody's posts it helps me to accept things and this is where I belong.
With Thanks I try to respond to those in need. Using what I've learned over the years.
and it does make it easier to accept things. The 3 months i have been staying locked down with family - i have heard “u did this to ur self. No sympathy here”.
Jaw drop.
But i stand tall in the face of their ignorance knowing i have all of the MS’ers here at my back!
It breaks my heart to hear the mean things people can say. Sometimes, I wonder if the ignorance isn't on purpose, but we can't educate people who refuse to be educated. Maybe it's fear that make them respond in that way, but I'm sorry you have to listen to that.
I'm so very glad this group exists to provide support to all of us who don't have people around us who truly understand.
I have learned my man was doing a better job supporting me than i ever thought! Now i have learned to appreciate him more. Maybe thats why God had me come out here. And he learned to miss me cuz he said we r getting married FINALLY this year!
I have learned so much, and I have found many kindred spirits on this forum! Together, we are all stronger, greaterexp Keep Smiling My wish is that I contribute just as much as I receive. Thank you so much, everyone, for just being here for me...
I love this group. When I was first diagnosed I knew only one person with it and she's had it a very long time and uses a motorized scooter. I was so scared thinking that there I would be as well. I have learned that it may not happen to me but if it does, I can adjust, just like many of you have. So far I'm doing pretty well, but if things go south I have all of you who understand and can give me pointers. Thank you all!
It was so reassuring to me when I read all the stories here, instead of the gloom and doom on many websites. I'm just on Copaxone, along with alpha lipoic acid, Vitamin D, N-AC, but I'm doing well. Yes, there are days when I use crutches or a cane, and I have a few "commercial days," as my friend puts it. (Those are days she stays in bed or on the couch, and just gets up to do something small when there are commercials.) But I'm not wheelchair-bound as I'd pictured, and even if I do get to that point, I've realized that life can still be very good. This group has shown me to think about ways to adapt, instead of giving up.
Thanks ,I try to find about multiple problems with Ms. I have other questions that you can have beside Ms. Hard to to deal with multiple issues not related to ms
