Tell Me About Your Experiences and Say Hello

From the lens Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Resources for Living with MS and Staying Well.

MS is such a personal experience and I don't know many people who are not touched by it in some way or another -- either they have MS, someone they love has MS or they have just recently become aware of the disease for some reason or another. Anyway, you are here -- reading this lens.

I want to let you know that I appreciate all the comments that come through. All I ask is that you don't post any links here. Just say hello and share your experience. Also, I'm sending a positive thought your way. I promise. ;-)

    One of my dearest friends was diagnosed with MS about 12 years ago. She has been an inspiration to me with her positive attitude and her joyous outlook on life. She has added a lot of natural vitamins and herbs into her daily routine as well as the injections that she takes and that seems to help her quite a bit. Thank you for such a comprehensive lens on a subject that many of us know little about.

    Thank you so much for this site! I am currently in the "diagnosis" stage, so it hasn't been diagnosed as MS, yet. I was totally unaware that the symptoms i have been experiencing could possibly be MS. An eye exam after a car accident presented some questions(double vision) and i was sent to a neurologist, the next test they want to do is an lumbar puncture. the MRA showed 3 areas of ? brain inflammation? A series of blood tests showed my B12 was nonexistent. If anyone could enlighten me about what that means, in simple language,that would be appreciated. Again, thank you so much for posting this site, it has helped in so many ways to allow me to understand some of my symptoms and possible causes. God Bless All.

    This is a great lens. I added it to my favorites. It is actually my first night on Squidoo, and i am trying to document my experience since I just learned that I may have MS. Well, I most likely do, but I am just waiting on the second attack or second lesion for the official diagnosis. I was very lucky that my optic neuritis was so bad in my first attack. They were able to catch it early, so I can start on the meds soon.

    This is an awesome lens! I have been battling MS for over 20 years and this is the best collection of information on MS I have ever found. I found a lot of information on here I was not aware of. I thank you for your hard work. I think after 20 years of hiding my Illness form my employers you may have inspired me to seek the VA compensation I think I deserve.

    I don't feel so alone any more.

    Several years ago a close friend found out she had MS which was devastating as you well know. She is an artist and had to give up her stall in the Pike Place Market which she had for more than 20 years. She soon was also suffering with severe Depression and has not been the same person since. Your lens and your story are truly inspiring and gives hope to those who otherwise would not have any. 5 stars and a Favorite. Take Care and God Bless.

    A great lens on MS. For those of you reading this in the UK (and probably the US) who have received a diagnosis, check your life insurance policies to see if you are covered. If your policy has a 'critical/serious illness' rider or if you are paying an income protection plan (formerly known as permanent health insurance or PHI) then you might have a valid claim. I do occasionally come across people who haven't claimed because they didn't realise they were covered...

I identify with you totally having some of the same emotions, such as feeling like I'm faking when i know im not. I also feel ppl think if your not in a chair and they can't see the disease that there is nothing wrong with me. Totally wrong. I felt a real connectin with you and the things you've said. It was nice to know somebody else understands what im going through. Love watching your videos so please keep them coming.

    I'm so glad I found this lens. I have PPMS and always looking for more info on MS. Lots of great info here with lots of links. I will be spending lots of time here. I'ts not easy for me to read anymore, so it will take me awhile to search around.

    Thanks for providing such a great lens.

    I knew a woman many years ago that began having symptoms like dropping her fork, spoon, pencil. etc.., while a junior in high school, and bedridden by 24.

    Though I haven't seen her in over twenty years, I talk about her and her amazing outlook like I had seen her yesterday. You remind me of her.

    Wow, what an amazing site! My hubby has MS, and unfortunately, he is pretty well "couch bound" - where he sleeps eats and spends his days.

    You have a lot of info here. I will bookmark this site for sure.

    Wow, what a comprehenive Squidoo! A very dear relative has gracefully lived with MS for almost twenty years - many of those years included inefficient internet searches for info. I am so glad to have found you - the areas of ife and health that you cover are amazing. Thank you and God bless you!

    This is an amazing lens. I was really impressed with all the resources. I had just recommended that Squid add an MS related charity to their list, and your lens caught my eye.
    My brother in law has MS, so this charity is near and dear to my heart. Hopefully we can write our way to a cure!

    I left some feedback just a moment ago; but realized that I was not logged in; also I wanted to let you know that I found your lens in the Squidoo lensmasters group in the 30 Day Challenge. Now I can give you the 5 stars as I am logged in.
  • purplelady Aug 20, 2007 @ 9:52 am | delete
    Wonderful site. I will definitely share it with my lens and will give it the 5 stars it deserves. I have to tell you how impressed I was with the number of lenses you have. What an effort.

    This is one of the best lenses I have seen. There is so much excellent info here, I read it for over an hour. Perhaps you should consider a career in teaching medical students. They'd learn something, wouldn't they?

    What a very touching lens. A close friend of mine has suffered with MS for a long time, and it's resources like this that Squidoo was built for. Keep up the great work!

    Awesome lens that you've put together here. I can probably learn more about my own MS from here that I can from my "not overly communicative" neurologist! Actually, I run an MS blog myself and I try to stay on top of happenings. You are now bookmarked as one of my favorite MS sites!

    MS is a dreadful, debilitating disease...I had a lady friend, a TV director, who became a cripple and then died from it in the late 1980s.

    My lady now has it...but has virtually no symptoms expressing, except on very humid days.

    Great page, terrible, terrible disease.
