MS is often an isolating disease. Many people with MS find enormous solace from these forums and often make very good friends there.
People even find partners.
We have a massive common bond of understanding. We have all confronted the fears and difficulties that the disease and its diagnosis presents. They all have a different feel and emphasis. A Flame wars break out every so often but overall it's a supportive place to hang out. People are very willing to help out with questions and concerns.
