Welcome

The "LIVING" group was started in 1999 by a few people with multiple sclerosis who liked to laugh. They also knew there was much more to LIVING than multiple sclerosis. Hence LIVING ... in Spite of MS was born.

It's gone through many changes, but continues to keep going strong. Seems there are more people than you "LIVING" .... in Spite of MS.

Among other things, you will find information about multiple sclerosis from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, MS news and stories from other MSers here at LIVING. But best of all, you will meet some of the best people you could ever want to know in our forums and chats. Just like you, they are LIVING ... in Spite of MS!

Although MS is demanding on time, energy and emotion. The LIVING forums are a place where it gets real. In our forums we discuss real issues that affect real people every day. And not just about MS, about LIVING our lives to the fullest. We share information, things we have learned to make our lives better, we cry together and laugh together.
We may have a specific way of dealing with MS and that way may change as symptoms and conditions change. But we try to take a light look at life. Humor is sometimes the best medicine, and there's always a good dose of that in our forums.

Everyone in the group cares and tries to help one another over the rough spots. It's a place for information exchange, or someone to lean on. It is also for the reality of our situation. We deal through caring, sharing, friendship and encouragement to live.
