I try to give info to people that don't know about MS or THINK they know about it. So far I've received nothing but positives from that. I also try to refer people to this site as this has helped me with MS, the information is priceless.

Wow..I went shopping with my sister and come home to some drama..what happened? Maybe I don't want to know.

All I can say is that I try to bring some experience to people who ask, smiles to people who need them, and I opinions when I am questioned. I also try to laugh everyday with my friends here...it keeps me healthy, I'm convinced of it. Be well, Jen

I like to hear all opinions, I may not always agree with them all, but I have the ability to research the ones I would like to know more about, and make my own decision, as I am sure ALL of you do. I try to give advice based upon my own experiences. I also have made allot of friends on this site. I have gained much knowledge from the people on this site, and would hate to lose even one of them! I would like to think I can make people laugh, give advice, cry with them, and celebrate with them, support them without fear. I only wish the same for each of you.

I try to give advice to those who need it, and support to those who need it. I think thats what we are all here for. Thats why I am here, and I need support and advice also.
We are all in this togather no single one of us has the answer to it all.Togather we are strong and can help each other if we listen with an open mind. Take in what we need and filter out what we don't.

I AM NEW TO THIS SITE, SORRY TO HEAR YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE. I CAME HERE HOPING FOR AN UPBEATE EXPERIENCE. SORRY TO HEAR IT DIDN'T WORK FOR YOU

I try to take what I like and leave the rest. I try to live and let live.

I'm with you, Julie. Take what you like - ignore the rest.

I stand for helping, support, caring and what works for me. Not sweating the small stuff. Many people here are differant from me. Just like in the world. That dosn't mean i give up on the world. It dosn't mean I give up coming in here. We have to learn to live our way and let others live thiers. Please turn any negativity by you being positive. Why can't it work that way instead negativity over turning the positive. Why do we have to be victims and not conquers.?
Just thinking out loud.

I stand for fighting this MS as much as I can. I try to educate myself and help others.
I was and am grateful for this website made many friends here.
I now have joined NMSS Committee, will do my 2nd MS Walk this year. Will have to use scooter this year last year it laid me up for a week the walking. I have become co-leader for my MS Support Group. I have recommended this site to others who are housebound. Because you are all different and each in his own way are trying to help.

Sometimes it seems as though our words are as a drop in the ocean and will never make a difference. I prefer to think of our actions as a candle in a dark cave. Even one tiny light will dispell the darkness.
We do not always know who our light will reach but that should not prevent us from letting our light shine.

ok.ok. I get the points...I think I was just venting because we shouldn't be negative with MS , you know MS and stress DO NOT go together...I've read all the posts up until this point and it all makes sense...one pea in the pod does not speak for the whole damn pod...so I'll stay...but guys....life is tooo short...lighten up on the negativity...let's hear about a beautiful rainbow in the sky after a brief spring shower or thankful to just sit and eat a meal in peace or a quick cat nap or a flower that just bloomed and smells terrific...can you feel what I am saying guyfriends and girlfriends???? GOD BLESS AND HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS TO ALL AND I AM NOW RETURNING TO THE DARK CORNERS OF MY CAVE....but I DO have an eye open...;()

Personally i stand for being helpful...i hope i stand for being humerous as well,,,as i find that laughter is a good way to fight anything...but with any chronic illness be it MS..epilepsy...etc.... you are bound to find some negitevity...wether it is from yourself..or others...it is just the way it is... we all at one point will expereince it...it is just in the way we handle it... hence the seeking out of a support group...

there will be times in a support group that words will be said that may better be left unsaid...sigh... but that is life as a whole...it is like a family...and that is what this board is like...a huge family... alot of us have been here for a long time...it is our family in the aspect of our MS...it is who we turn to when we have a question...a good day..a bad day...or just need a shoulder to lean on... or someone to laugh with....

please stick around awhile and you will see what i mean... become part of our family...dont let one word chase you away...even in (quote) real...familes things are said that should not be...the same will happen here...and life moves on.... but this site is well worth the effort of sticking around...

I guess I just don't really get that emotional about responses. I mean I answer if I want and I say what I feel but I know everyone is different. I do get emotional about my post, but I feel so many things.

My husbands ex is a practicing witch and i am a Christian. I've had her over for dinner and wine and had good coversation. Do I agree with her about everything, No!
I also have friends who are gay and family members who are donkeys and others who are elephants. Its hard not to rub someone wrong. This place reminds me of family. You love them and stand up for them and at the same time most of them you would not have chosen if you could have picked.

negativity is something I can get sucked into if I am letting MS win. it seems what we focus on tends to grow. I hope I wasn't a person to upset you and that the cave is dark and cool and you are at least getting satilite!lol..

The things heather said about family reminded me of a saying which used to hang in our family home-
'Home is the place where you grumble the most and are treated the best'.
So it is here at DS, it seems to me. We support each other when things are bad but also rejoice together when things are good. I guess that's what being a family is all about.
