Hi Guys, I joined today in the hope of talking to fellow MS’ers. I don’t know anyone personally with MS so cannot talk about MS related stuff.
I was diagnosed in 2011
I’m based in Ealing (United Kingdom)
Welcome to the forum! There’s a lot of good information here and many nice people. Read over the existing posts, and feel free to ask questions about anything and everything, even if it’s not MS. Sometimes we get pretty silly, but sometimes all you can do is laugh.
Welcome to the gang Raka.
Many of us only have this forum, where we are fully understood.
We cant really blame those who dont have MS to ‘get it’. Bless 'em.

Hi
This is a pretty good place to gather and share info. Loads of understanding, empathy and experience plus the occasional giggle.

Hi RaKa,
Sorry you’ve got MS but glad you found us.
There’s a search box top right next to donate box if you want to look up old posts.
I’ve had MS for over half my life and didn’t know anyone with MS. I joined this forum and have had great support and been able to offer advice too.
Only 2 years ago I went to my local MS society information evenings and started going to the monthly coffee meetings.
Due to Covid the meetings have stopped but I still have a Zoom coffee with 2 of my MS buddies.
Hope your symptoms are minor but:-
Top tip - keep a diary of your MS symptoms and how long they last. Any appointments and what the result of them were. Also when you had to start using any aids. The information you keep is invaluable when you apply for things like Blue Badges or Personal .Independent Payment - I’ve kept a diary of symptoms since 1998 and I photocopied pages for my PIP application.
Take care
Jen
