Attendance Record for this MS forum!

[Lulu54]

Hello all,
We have had such an influx of new members recently, which is great.  And then we have a lot of members who seem to have been here from the beginning of this forum.  Of course there are the  rest of us who fill in the middle.

I'm interested in learning how long you have been using MedHelp's MS forum and what you think is the main reason you visit here regularly.

If you remember, it might also be interesting to learn how you found this site among all of them out there on the web.  

Please select one of these choices and then add your comments in a separate post.    Thanks, Lu

I have been a community member of MedHelp's MS forum for:

I joined the end of September 08.  I lurked for quite a while prior to joining - but ultimately saw how kind everyone is here & decided to join.  I may not post often, but I read the posts regularly to see how everyone is doing.


Hugs,

I think I joined in the fall of '08.  DX'd in 12/08.  I found the site to be so informative and the people so amazing that even if I don't post due to fatigue, I do lurk. Reading others symptoms and how they deal with them has been so helpful to me I can't even express it. Thanks to all.

I found the group in November 08, after the October possible Dx.  I joined in December 08.  Most of the time I just read and read.  I am a stay at home mother, and don't feel right broadcasting my Dx.  I will eventually return to work, and don't want the info to procede me.  That being said, I like to be able to "talk" about what is going on with me.  REading the stories of others helps me figure out what symptoms are from my MS and what are not.  The first real relaps was made easier by people who understand.

DCGallegos,
We're glad to have you here- I'm not sure if we've been properly introduced but there are so many new folks we might have and I'm just not remembering.  Welcome! Lulu

Newbie for sure, under 3months.  Needed information and this is the best place!  And now I have support that I didn't know where anywhere.
Thanks
