Why I love this Group

[Zacksmomi]

I love this group because...

When I am having a #@*$ty day I can just come here and write it down and learn that someone out there truly genuinly cares.

When I just need to cry, no one needs to have an explination why.

When I can't find my words no one corrects me.

When I forget what I was doing no one makes fun of me (usually that is me making fun of me though so not sure I can count that)

There are no managers here with no heart.

You can write down what you want to say without anyone interrupting you only to explain how they know exactly what you are going through and actually most of the time know More about what you are going through before you can even finish your first sentence.

Trying to do the right thing is almost always appreciated here

There are answers when I need them.

There are no kids getting on your last good nerve.


And most of all, I like this group because I can always find someone who understands.

Thank you

Everyone is so right.  We all understand each other in a way that not even our closest friends can understand.  We realize that we're vulnerable on certain days and stronger on other days.  We realize that cyberhugs can be just as effective as a real hug.  We realize that we are a team of people who are more understanding because we've experienced pretty much the same things and are not going to be judgemental.  

I've not been here long but, I can tell you that I feel very welcome and always know that someone else cares and gives good feedback.  I don't have anyone else who can answer the questions I have unless I come here.  I just love this group and I try to pray everyday for our members.

I think it's because we see each other as fragile and at risk to what our bodies are doing to us--we're all people just trying to make it with a better life and we've found others who care to help us. We're talking to our very human side. Let's continue helping one another! Especially when it's something so variable and weird like MS, we need support! Hugs, Jane in Indiana

Amen to everything everyone else has said.

Right on the money!  It is nice to have a place to run with your fears, concerns, and symptoms where there is no judgement.  It is nice to have an ear to bend before bothering the significant other or paying un-necessary Dr. bills.  I need someone who understands on a regular basis, not just at a once-a-month meeting.

you must have worked at the same engineering firm i did! LOL

honestly, i can empathize with you!

[Eyesnlegs]

You have put it so well!

I have not been here very long but feel I have some close friends for the first time who don't mind what I ask or how silly it seems. They recognize that when you have so many sx going on that even a small thing can really get you down.

I work as a lecturer so like Lulu its nice not to worry about having fat fingers on a keyboard.

Last November when I was waiting for the results of my 2nd mri a friend told me to look for an on line forum as they were great sources of support she had joined one when a close friend who was only 36 had died of breast cancer. Well I hit the jackpot when I found this group of people who are warm, welcoming, understanding and so non-judgmental its wonderful.

Thanks to every single one of the members just for being there.

It is funny  - I like being here because I can write whatever I want and not wory about correcting my error.s I work all day long in an english department where the langusage is important but the execution is even more important.  here., despite my errors in grammar and spelling and punctuation, all of you still understand what it is I am trying to say.  

Your list of points as to why we like being here is excellent - thanks for putting in this effort.

my best,
Lulu

I could not have said it any better, I have only been here a few weeks but just knowing your not alone and people understand how you feel ( BECAUSE MY FAMILY THINKS I SHOULD JUST SHAKE IT OFF AND EVERYTHING WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL) Everyone here sympathizes with you and your feelings of not being normal, and feeling sh***y for days at a time. It kind of makes everything seem like it will be okay.

Thanks, Lynn
