Some of the posts that have appeared here really deserve to be a health page on their own - the information content is rich and valuable
I am starting this new health page as a way to keep easy access to some of these outstanding threads and journal entries. And I am counting on all of you community members to add to this list of some of the other classics from the MS forum.
By having this quick reference list of must read posts, new members will have easy access to this information while us older members won't have to search our memories for the right title and names to reference these classics.
So, in no particular order, here are the posts that we feel every forum member should read at least once, if not more often:
