Hey everyone. Posting for first time even though I’ve had MS for 2 & a 1/2 years.
Has anybody on here found these forums helpful in normal life or are they only a way to connect/talk?
Hi sparky. Not quite sure what you mean by ‘in real life’?
That’s not what I said.
My apologies. I’m not quite sure what you mean by ‘in normal life?
the internet is full of info, both useful and irrelevent… I was hoping to see if anyone has been able to use info from this successfully in life, when not typing in a forum or glued to a phone, to help with their MS.
if so, how?
Have a look through the various posts. Some people ask for recommendations and suggestions, some want emotional support and words of encouragement, some want suggestions for types of equipment. Best way of answering your question is if you look through the various posts and see the sorts and answers and suggestions they get
Although your answer is correct, I was hoping to join this forum to engage with other people with something in common, not just trawl all messages and read their info, leaving myself with little to say.
Hi @SparkyIOM
Welcome. I find the forum a good way to share personal experiences, living with this unpredictable condition of multiple sclerosis.
Everyone has their own opinions, which is respected, you sometimes pick up useful snippets of unofficial MS information from others.
Happy postings,
JP

easiest way is to introduce yourself, say something about where you are with MS and ask any questions that you might have about MS , or just go ahead and tell people that you would like to build links with anyone who is experiencing this or that. Unless you actually put some info out there people won’t know !
I’ve done that in another group now, I just wanted to try to ease myself in first.
