Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and thought I'd join after seeing the address posted at another fourm. Thank you for having this site.

I was diagnosed with RRMS a few months ago and the adjustment and support has been difficult. I hope to meet new friends and learn more while here.

Hi soulflower! Welcome!

Being just recently diagnosed with MS doesn't put most people in a very cheerful mood, unless they're among those who were afraid they might have a brain tumor that would finish them off soon.

There are a few people like that (I was one of them). Even so, getting a diagnosis of MS can't be seen as good news.

But you'll find some very helpful and knowledgeable people here (and on BrainTalk1 when it returns).

Glad you found your way here--and looking forward to your posts.

I was one of them, too. I was more afraid of MS than brain tumors, though, probably because I know two people with benign tumors that seem unaffected. I knew absolutely nothing about MS. I guess that even with issues as serious as tumors and MS, the unknown is always scarier.
