I had an opposite experience.
I went to an MS meeting for only light MSers. They didn't want the wheelchair or scooter bound in there, to scare the newbys...Can you imagine the audacity??
Even though I was light RRMS at the time, I never went back.. What would they do, throw you out if you got worse.
We are all MSers at different places in our disease, we're not babies and we need each other.
