I just found this great site!!! The best thing is that it is not "owned" by a drug company or an organization!!!

I am looking forward to being more informed, trying to take an active role in my care (I HATE needles) praying and wishing for a pill form of treatment for this monster of disease. In the process of reading a book called curing Ms by Howard L. Weiner, M.D. it is interestingto say ...

Well, it's official. My doctor sent me home with info packets on the different treatment options (Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, and something else) and I was feeling a little overwhelmed so I started searching and stumbled on this site. I saw the forums for all of the different regimens and started breathing again. This site is great! So now I'm a new user. I'm 24, and living in Louisiana (Geaux Cajuns). I work as a district ...

I am Sandro from Vercelli, Italy, I am a "person with MS" since 1997... uhm... to be honest I was diagnosed in 1997, perhaps MS in me was older... I've got a zillion of things to ask you but I guess it'll be better to know better this fantastic site before to start "chatting", right? ;)

I'm a new member here, and thrilled to find this site. I'm 31 years old, and I was dx with MS 2.5 years ago.

The pregnancy was a dream - the best I've felt in years. Since then, ...
