When I was dxed the 2nd time in 1993, I met a friend who headed a support group. I loved it, no one biotched, everyone was up beat and so helpful to newbys. We had parties and stuff too.
I stopped going when the local NMSS office moved to Cincinnati and the dynamics and support from NMSS dropped off.
My friend stopped heading it and then she too, stopped attending. I blame NMSS for that failure..the turds..
Anyway, just like coming here, it's hard sometimes to talk about our MS and that's why we have the Stumble Inn, so we can just have fun.

So the social meeting may work better, for the P2P thing, IMHO.
