    Hi, brand new here-

    I've had MS since early childhood, older than most of you probably, but haven't been around other MS people and I feel too isolated. Also, I have no family, they have all passed on. It definitely ran in my mother's side of the family but I got it worse than anyone.

    I can feel for all the people that are dealing with a new diagnosis, as well as the symptoms. Also, I can sympathize with all the people who have been repeatedly misdiagnosed.

    Even with doing computer-based work for years, I never had time to get on facebook or twitter. When you're all alone in the world, no one's got your back, and it's been very rough. Weeks ago I finally put my facebook page up, and I was hoping to get MS friends from around the world. I don't know if facebook links are allowed in this forum, and I need a couple of hours of rest right now before I can check and see if they do.

    All in all, I came into the world with this illness, and I'm going out with it. It's not the MS that scares me- it's everything else!

    Welcome to MSWorld, GeeGee! We're glad you reached out to us and you can now consider us part of your MS family! There are a lot of wonderful and supportive people here.

    I understand about feeling isolated. I feel that way sometimes because of the fact that I live in an isolated location. When I took an early retirement due to disability, I joined our local MS support group. Have to drive a ways to get there, but it was well worth it.
