The NEW POST button.
 

I have used this feature in other forums where the topic remained constant. such as art, or books, but I thought I dare not stray beyond the fence of the MS yard and the stumble inn. About a week ago I was brave enough to look up to that list that says UserCP and FAQ and MemberList and Calendar and NEW POSTS! Hmm...I wonder whats there? so, I clicked!

I have met some very nice folks. While some have Alzheimer or Parkinson or Np or TOS or are depressed and struggled to find a reason to get up today I was fascinated at how many folks wander these hallowed halls. Some just want to share their poems, or express their pain. Some want diet advice or to talk about a book they read.

I gotta say, I guess I had blinders on cause the years that I have been here, I never thought of this place past being an MS meeting area. So, take a peek, see what I mean? This place is huge! Anyone else wander to other yards to say a nice word? give a hug? encourage? or just lurk?

Lots of really great folks with lots of different issues. The one thing we have in common......we all come to this wonderful site for companionship and understanding. :)

I post wherever as long as I stay with the subject and I feel that I have something to add. I have always done this. I am interested in many subjects and there certainly are not that many posts going on when it comes to CMT. So without it being possible to join in other places there would virtually be nowhere for me to post. Again, I stay with the subject and I was told it was fine.

I used to frequent the ALS and PN boards, as the symptoms are similar to MS. And I knew a few peeps suffering from each.

Some of the other forums are sparser and I welcome all of our friends here to chat, anytime. We are all suffering and could all use a shouder or a laugh once in awile..:grouphug:

Before I got my SSD I was on the SSD forum quite a bit. A bunch of very helpful and knowledgeable folks there. Whne the first brough the medication forum up I thought that as an RN I could give some insight. But there some very disease specific medicines that i knew nothing about. No one was asking about cardiac drugs!

it broke my heart on a couple of posts that there were no responses to the request for info, so I hugged them instead. I dont know much about parkensons disease, or even PN or TOS but I can cheer lead.
