FridayOUR MySpace FRIEND CARRIE: A HERO FOR HELPING OTHERS WITH HER GROUP: "MS 20 SOMETHING"I have been diagnosed since I was 22 Hi Stan, Thanks for The MS News Channel! I feel lucky to help the newly diagnosed and the people who have been diagnosed forever find out information. For many people it seems like being dxed with MS is scary to terrifying. I hope that my site can make it a little less scary and help put a face on the disease. I think it is crucial for people who are dxed with MS realize that they are the same person they were before the diagnoses and they most likely have been living with this disease for awhile. I think the words of advice that I have for the newly dxed is for them to realize that they are the same person they were before the diagnosing. I think that it is important for people who are newly dxed to find support for dealing with the disease. Family and friends can be a great support, but I think that it helps to have someone else who has been dxed. There is understanding that happens, in my opinon, with people who deal with MS everyday. :-) Carrie |
