Feel quite rude for not re-introducing myself

Everyday living

I joined almost 17 years ago after my neuro recommended it might be good for me to get support from other people who suffer from this disease, however after 4 years of been an active member I found that it wasn’t really for me! It was frightening reading how people suffered with MS + I was going through a really bad time with my now ex husband who just couldn’t cope with my illness and the affect it had on me. After having so many relapses over the years my now new husband encouraged me to re-join and tell/let other new MS’rs how it feels to cope/carry on with this disease. So please forgive me for just jumping in. I suppose I’m a newbie really Sue x

Hi Bambi,

Welcome back to the forum. I joined nearly a year ago but have only just started posting on this forum, I only used it for a start as a window to look in on the ‘ms world’ but as I started to relate to different threads I joined in. Any experiences and coping strategies are worth their weight in gold to other ms’ers and the support given is amazing, I have learned such a lot from the people on here.

really like it now.

Hope people can support you. Keep well,

Hi Sue, glad you now find the club more suited to you. Theres such a mix of people here, theres always someone you can relate to.I particularly like the buddies part, where we can pm each other.

I visit most days and now consider everyone my cyber family.

Your new hubby sounds very considerate…nice!

luv Pollx

Hi Poll It wasn’t that it didn’t suit me last time it was just my nasty ex that said I was obsessive with the site, I didn’t think I was, I only used to visit it once a week to see how people were managing this terrible disease we have. New husband is very considerate what I would call a proper gentleman, and I have known him since nursery school so 40 years!! He’s in the millitary and spends long protracted periods of time away from home, so his slant on this site is if you can make cyber buddies and vent about your illness to people that know what your going through - go for it. Bless love him to bits And thankyou all for the welcome xx

Hi Bambi and welcome back! I have found this site invaluable. I vent my spleen and also realise that I’m not alone. I am lucky I have a wonderful other half, but I find it easier to talk about ms on here as I’m not burdening anyone, if that makes sense? I’ve joined the local mss branch and though its not for hubby, he ran a mile, it helps me. Chis
