Hi
im new to the forum, so thought if introduce myself! I have had rrms since 2012, considered to be highly active and am taking gilenya. I’m married with two boys, who are 6&4 so keep me busy! Just looking to talk to people who may understand how hard it is having ms! People without it seem to struggle to understand it.
look forward to speaking to you all.

Thank you 
I think I’m getting on ok with everything, but sometimes I feel like I don’t want to burden the family with my issues so be great to be able to talk to you all who can relate!

Hi Bubblecup,
my name is Polly, I’m 38 my kids are quite a bit older they are 17 &12 I’m quite new to this site too, and just finding my way around and trying to make MS friends as my own friends either a) Do not get my illness at all B) ignore me because they don’t want to understand or C) the few others still don’t have it but do their best.
I have PPMS and I have been ill for a couple of years and deteriorated quickly, but only got the final dx in the last few months so I’m still learning as I go.
If you fancy messaging me feel free, this has been a great site.
speak soon

Hi bubblecup
love the name! I am recently diagnosed too with SPMS and it is a lot to deal with (I have 3 - aged 11, 7 and 4). Always live on the positive side of life (that’s what I do!!) and appreciate everyday everyday when I can walk about, teach and do everyday things (which I took for granted before as I know one day this might be taken away by this cruel condition). This site is lovely and there are always people ready to support and guide, you just a tap away, which is a comfort, or you can just read through and empathise with others even if you don’t respond (I do this a lot - sometimes I think I get that too but am too tired to think about writing a response!!). Anyway, welcome to the forum x

Thanks for all the lovely welcomes!
Been reading through lots of old posts, seems to be a very helpful site, I’m sure I’ll need some help along the way myself.
I have been diagnosed since 2012, so not a complete newbie to ms, new to forums thougH.
Cheers again for making me feel welcome!
