    Hi there! I am right in Barrie!!! I was diagnosed last May, it has definitely not been a fun year. Are you doing the MS Walk on April 17th?

    Nice to meet you!

        Smiths Falls

        Hi

        I am from Bass lake near Smiths Falls. About 5 hours from Barrie. I am still waiting for a definitive diagnosis. I see my neuro on the 07th of April. Hopefully I will find out something then. He said he was 95% sure I had MS. I want to start treatment but they want to be 100 percent. I just had another MRI and an evoke potential test Time will tell

        Take Care

          Nice to meet all of you and I haven't been diagnosed yet. I lived in Barrie for two years now I'm in the Midland area. I hear you when you say it hasn't been a fun year, the same here. Not much support in this area. I think what's needed is just someone to talk to and I can't seem to get chat to work on here

              I find we need an MS specialist in the Barrie or Northern Ontario areas. I am having a hard time getting a definitive DX as well. The neuros here are too scared to DX unless you are almost paralyzed here but it sux to ask for a specialist in Toronto as it is a far drive for us (especially from midland)

              We need a better support group in this area. The Barrie group only meets on fridays at 10am and I work full time so I cant meet with them. I hear you!!

                  Hi. I'm from Alliston, just north of Barrie. I was Dx about 2 1/2 years ago. I have a neuro in Barrie. He's not bad. Better than the last one.... we did the Mswalk in Alliston last weekend. Would love to chat.
                  Nice to meet you all

                    Is anyone in Barrie on disease modifying medications such as copaxone, etc.? I have met a few (including myself) that dont seem to be on it and now I am curious about whether the docs here are not giving it out for some reason.

                    I have asked for a second opinion - a referral to Toronto clinic

                        I was given a choice of which med to take, there is a booklet, and a video, that , gives you questions in terms of how often you are okay to inject, what type of side effects you can tolerate, etc. I chose copaxone, and that is what I have been taking since last December, my neuro is in Huntsville, and I think has been wonderful.
