Multiple Sclerosis Support Group: Let's Connect

Posted by Lisa Lucier, Moderator @lisalucier, Mar 30 1:15pm

Welcome to the multiple sclerosis (MS) support group on Mayo Clinic Connect.

This is a welcoming, safe place for people to connect who have been diagnosed with MS, whose loved one has MS, who are wondering if they or a loved one may have MS, and who may have some questions for others who have travelled this path.

You’re invited to share your experiences; ask questions about doctor visits, symptom relief, the diagnostic process and available treatments; and encourage and check in on others in similar situations.

To participate in the MS support group, you can:

Follow the group.
Browse the discussion topics.
Use the group search to find discussions that interest you.
Introduce yourself.

Regardless of where you may be on your journey with MS today, you’re invited to join this group and connect with others.

Why not start by introducing yourself? Since people have varying experiences with MS, what has yours been like? What symptoms and treatments have you had? Any questions you'd like to ask others familiar with MS?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Support Group.

This new group on Mayo Clinic Connect will be dedicated to MS, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/multiple-sclerosis-support-group-lets-connect/, such as the diagnostic process, symptoms, treatment and self-care, prognosis and managing your mental health and relationships in light of this disease.

Your discussions related to MS have been moved to this new group. Be sure to follow the group to get notified of new posts.

So, please take a moment and introduce yourself. If you've had an MS diagnosis for a while, is there one tip or coping strategy that really made a difference for you? If you are newly diagnosed or you or your doctor suspect you may have MS, what question would you like to ask the group?
