This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Just diagnosed 6 weeks ago & I pretty much blurted to everyone I know. Well, that's exaggerating, but I told 4 people at work, 4 at church, a support group I'm in, and my whole family. And my hairdresser--but that was imperative, as I was losing function in my left hand & needed a carefree style.

Now I'm regretting being so open; although it hasn't come back to bite me yet, I feel like people ...

I suffer from MS and was diagnosed at 14. I am currently 20 and I found that every video related to MS is patronising. I have created a short documentary on the condition and how having a positive attitude helps. The documentary can be found here

Hi Everyone.

I don't know if I am posting in the right place, so if I'm not, then please accept my apologies.

I recently met a man I really like who has MS. He is a wonderful man and I feel really lucky that we got the chance to get together. Been about two months now.

We just started getting intimate a couple of weeks ago. The issue we are having is that he can ...

Frontline on PBS recently aired a documentary called "Life and Death in Assisted Living" that discussed problems with assisted living facilities. The documentary focused on a company called Emeritus, but the problems with Emeritus are not unique within the assisted living industry. I recommend watching it. 8O

Hello,

My name is Vadim. I'm a biomedical engineer and inventor. I've designed and 3d printed a set of ergonomic utensils for my arthritic grandmother. Unlike other "ergonomic" utensils available, my design requires almost no hand strength or dexterity to eat comfortably.

I'm considering making these into a product and am very interested in getting feedback on my design from people living with MS. If you're in the New York metro area (preferably on Long ...

Hi All!

Just wondering if there are any tax breaks or organizations that offer financial assistance towards the purchase/installation of central air? Like many with MS the heat just torments my hubby so we have multiple window units running all the time and would like to simplify by getting central air installed, but its pricey .

We live in Massachusetts.

If anyone has any suggestions we'd appreciate it!

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
Lately I have been having "episodes" of pain in my skin (right now on my hip, have had in in my wrist and leg as well) that feels like I've been severely burned. It is super sensitive with just clothes on it and it hurts so much to have anything touching or moving it. Then... it goes away about a half hour later. Has anyone had something like this? I have chronic neuropathic ...
