wow :-) thanks so much everyone for being so welcoming, it feels like such a relief to know i'm not alone in this disaster!!
I haven't had a date to start copaxone yet, but am hoping will be soon..i am relying on the NHS here in the UK, and i work for the NHS too so i'm hoping they will be good to me!
I have had loads of weird and wonderful symptoms over the years so i'm sure we will all have plenty in common ;-)
thanks again

Welcome!!! I have been a member here since before my initial dx this past August. Started copaxone in September. Lots of people here can help you with support and questions.
The great thing about this place is not only the fantastic people but you find out things that you didn't even know you didn't know. Lots of "ahhhh" moments after reading some posts.
Anyway, welcome and I look forward to following you on the board.
Blessings, Julie
You have definitely found the right place, because we are all pretty good at sharing our experiences and knowledge. I know friends may try, but it's difficult for them to understand what we are going through.
When do you start Copaxone? I started taking my Copaxone injections last Sept (so a little over 3 months ago).
So...Hello.....

Hi there and welcome ..you have joined a forum that is full of amazing people and I can only say that if there is one positive thing about having MS..it is that I would never have made contact with complete strangers who can offer each other so much and show endless compassion and understanding.
I was dx'd in March last year and I am still getting used to the idea and think that it really takes time for it to sink in. So just allow yourself some space and use this forum to ask questions and find out as much as you want or need to at your own pace.
Glad that you have found us and look forward to seeing you around
Love Sarah
Hi nicnic,
Welcome to the forum. This place is wonderful for support.
I am sort of diagnosed lol. My nuero says that I have MS but my insurance won't pay for the DMD's until I show more lesions since I only had the one Oband so I am not sure what is going on.
Anyway welcome to the forum again!!! :)

Hello. Welcome. I don't get here as often as I like, but the people in this group are pretty nifty. Being part of this group makes me feel like I'm not alone on this journey called MS. :)
hello nicnic im new to this myself and still waiting for definate ms diagnosis although my neuro has for warned me as more tests to be done. have only been on this site for a few days and already so glad i found it.what a great friendly group of people and so supportive too. from poddy.
Hi nicnic, so glad you found us .... this place is full of folks who love to listen and share experiences. Weekends are a bit slow - especially being a holiday. There will be many folks here by tomorrow again - I hope you stick around and meet some of us. welcome again, Lulu
You have found the right place to ask questions and share experiences for sure. Welcome and its good to have you.
I became a member of this group back in July 2008 a year before I was diagnosed with MS. This forum has been invaluable for helping me understand all that goes into this disease and how to cope with it. It is also a place where people who have not been diagnosed yet can come and shae their experiences. We often find that we, limbolanders and MSers, have the same problems but may have a different cause. Regardless, we can help each other with symptom control, understanding test results, or just needing to vent.
Like Jep said, there are so many knowledgeable people here, both community leaders and us regulars, who are there to help in any way. Hope you will like it here.
If you are comfortable, please share your story with us. Again, welcome.

Hi nic,
Welcome to the forum! There are so many knowledgeable people here who're very happy to answer questions about anything MS related - it's a really great place.
I was diagnosed in September and am about to start on Avonex.
Take care
Jep
