Of course we want to share how we are doing on our healing journey, but I want this group to take it to the next level - after sharing how you're doing, the current challenges you're h …

Living with MS isn't easy; it takes resilience, creativity, a sense of humor and, of course, lots of strength. I thought this group shouldn't die so I've taken it over temporarily.  I will be looking for co-organizers in the future.  In the meantime, check back frequently as we will start having meetings next week.  This should be a meeting place for people to share coping strategies, experiences, therapies that have helped them and new therapies that are on the horizon.
