Brand new here

Hi everyone, so far having a difficult time trying to post and navigate, but then when you have ms sometimes you can expect difficulties sometimes! Will keep trying to get used to things here.... 🤔😊

Thank you very much Xvettech!It feels good just to be warmly welcomed!

[Xvettech in reply to Hidden]

this is a good place! For everything! You can also message me anytime you need to talk 🙂

[Hidden in reply to Xvettech]

How do I go about messaging? I just learned how to post a picture, not sure how to message though! I'm sure it looks like I've never seen a computer before! Lol!

[NorasMom in reply to Hidden]

Make sure you start from "My feed" at the top left of the screen. To the right of your user name, you'll see blue print saying "What's your question?". Click on that, then select "My MSAA Community". You'll have to give it a title of some sort, then move down to type the main body of your message. That's where you can also add photos, emojis, etc. Then just click on the blue "Post" button.😀

[Xvettech in reply to Hidden]

press chat at top and then choose name. I don’t know how to post pics😂 it doesn’t work for me

Welcome to the forum, Hidden ! As with everything new, it takes some practice before you feel comfortable with replies, posting, etc, but if I can do it, you can do it! In the meantime, look at mymsaa.org for more resources. I look forward to hearing more from you! Happy Trails!

Welcome, Tuckernuck! Are you newly diagnosed? I am just over 2 years in, and I am still learning. 😀 It gets better, I promise!

[Hidden in reply to Mollyabigail]

Hi Mollyabigail, no,not newly diagnosed...going on 6 years now. Started dmt right away and have been sticking with it all this time. 3 weekly shots of glatiramer acetate.

Thank you SO much! I'm glad that after all this time, I at long last joined this group. Sounds like a great bunch here! I would love to share a picture from time to time, but not sure how to do that?

[NorasMom in reply to Hidden]

Under the block for typing a reply or post is a row of icons for Bold, Italic, Underline, etc. Click the last one, and it'll open a window for you to load a saved photo from your computer.

Welcome Tuckernuck to the MSAA family! There's no right way or wrong way to post so don't sweat the details. Just ask questions and we'll be happy to share common experiences with you. Simply jump in and find topics that you are interested in. That's the easiest way to take off in here. This chat room is full of some of the most kind, compassionate, and positive positive people I have ever met.. So don't worry about negativity or being made to feel inadequate because we will never do that. We're glad you have found us. Please take care and remember together we are stronger. Fancy59.

[Hidden in reply to Fancy59]

Thank you for your very kind words, they are very much appreciated!

[starlight5]

Hello and welcome! hope you are having a good day! 🌞🌼🌺🌼🌞

[Hidden in reply to starlight5]

Thank you so much starlight5. I love your username! Yes, it's a cool, crisp day here so to me it feels refreshing. I can't believe that years ago when my husband and I would go on vacation, we would go to the hottest, most humid places...then came ms ugh!

[starlight5 in reply to Hidden]

I became quite heat/cold sensitive with ms too. I like it best when the sun is hot but the air still colder in the 40-50's. April and May are usually good for that type of weather here but the sun hadn't been out much lately, which is getting depressing. We're supposed to get snow the first part of next week😣

[Hidden in reply to starlight5]

Good morning,

Snow here starting Saturday through Tuesday. Significant accumulation supposedly. At least it will keep the mosquitoes and woodticks at bay for a little longer! It's interesting you mentioned heat AND cold sensitivity. Me too. Sometimes it feels like someone dumped a bucket of ice water on me. It goes from my hands, arms, through my core down my legs.

I know I will end up paying for it, but the only way to get warmed up is by taking a very warm bath. Puts me out of commission for an hour or so, but it helps me.

[bxrmom]
