Giving it a chance.

[Midsomer1]

I have only been on this site for a few months. I have been diagnosed with transverse myelitis and MS for four years so what I deal with is still fairly new to me.

Many people ask questions about meds or symptoms that they have. Some write about how they are feeling, emotionally and physically.

This is what I have enjoyed about this site. It has given me a better perspective about MS and how it affects everyone differently and about the real struggles we go through with MS that no one else can understand.

I don't mind reading the jokes. The laughter is great medicine.

I didn't think there would be so much pettiness. This is a tightknit group. Many have been on it for years.

I kind of keep myself in the background. I will stay on this site and hopefully I will read more about dealing with MS; ups and downs, jokes, pictures!

I wish I would have had a group like this 10 years ago when I was diagnosed.I believe it would have made the transition from shock to acceptance much easier.

There's nothing like the voice of experience to help things along.

I love to see the lighthearted comments as they demonstrate that all is not not lost because of MS and the strength of the people here is impressive.

They are who I'd want on my side when things get rough.

Glad to meet you Midsomer1. I was dx April will be 4 years ago and found this site shortly after. It has certainly made my education on what was happening to my body a lot easier to understand and how to deal with the fact that life would never be the same.

The people here have helped me over many rough spots and still do.

Welcome to the party. Just jump right in there’s always somebody around.

I feel the pettiness will/is a thing of the past now. At least I hope so. I was fooled along with many others but no more since the truth has emerged. Yeah for that! I missed the "old group" and glad that it's returning.
