[cuppy01]

i feel so alone since i was told i had ms i find it hard to cope with even with doctors i find they dont know much where i stay so i`ve had to cope on my own has anyone else had this problem

I did in the past, until I realized that there are lots of great resources out there! Poke through the web pages of the MSAA, MSF and NMSS... take a look at the programs... maybe there's something that can help.

Cuppy, you’re not alone.

I think only someone with MS can understand what it is like, so coming here was a good thing to do to get rid of that alone feeling.
Also finding a local MS support group will also help.

Having a good support system is an important part to fighting MS and we are here for you.

MSers love helping other MSers.

You are not alone...

Cuppy,
You are not alone. You can always come here. Everyone is warm and so supportive. I am alone and have found MS to be even more isolating. I visit here, read, get ideas...and sometimes post desperate pleas for advice.
I shyed away from chat rooms, but when feeling really alone...I sometimes go on chat and even if I don't participate...I just watch the chat...people say hello instantly, and I feel better.
I also, for the first time called my local MS chapter and they were a Godsend.
Sending you lots of hugs ~ Tracy

HUGS CUPPY~ glad you are here with us. WE understand so please do not feel alone, ok hon?

Most docs just are not good at the touchy-feely stuff. Some are but they are a few. As some already told you, contact your local MS society or look them up online and see where their MS support groups are held.

But you did well by coming here and finding US. This is a wonderful place for help and support..and yes we have a chat room too.

Warmly, Jan

Hi and welcome. We understand.

Being diagnosed was horrific and I'm still tweaked by the fact that even the "specialists" don't really have any answers for us.

Hang in there.

Hey Cuppy,
your not alone thats for sure.. I am still in limbo land and no one is sure yet whats going on but your def not alone in this... You wouldnt believe how much I've felt like I was totally alone the past 2 weeks..I'm not sure my friends or family could ever understand how scary and alone it can be, but it does get better!!

There is a lot of support and people here to listen. Welcome to the forum!

Hey Cuppy,
I want you to know that you are NOT alone. You can always jump on here for questions or usually someone always has the same question as myself. So just know when you feel that way we are always here.
This place has been a wonderful support for me. As I go from yes to maybe to yes to maybe and ride the rollercoaster.
Take care we are here for you.
