Looking for
something specific?

It's World MS Day on May 30th and the theme is #MSConnections. I thought it'd be cool to release a compilation of loads of different answers to 2 sentences: - I feel most isolated by MS when... - Something that makes me feel less isolated with MS is... I've set up a link where you can either film ...

Been gone for a long time but I'm taking a mental health break from social media so I thought I'd take the time to reconnect with my MS connections

New to the Shift.ms universe (relatively, I guess), figured I'd share a thing my wife wrote for NMSS MS Connection site. I think it's worth a read, but I'm also biased. https://www.msconnection.org/Blog/November-2018/Dear-Me I'm enjoying reading the other tales posted here. Lots of similar stori...

Hi all! I had my first dose of the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine this morning and feeling good so far - if a little cold, but I am living in Scotland so it may just be that... Anyhow, I decided I was gonna put my science hat on and do a little bit of reading about the studies so far and everything lik...

Hiya, Has anyone actually been able to access the connections program, or the telephone support services. I seem to be going round in circles. ET x

Hi, I just joined, I was happy to find this place, and thought to introduce myself and give you a short intro through my story. English is my second language, so please forgive my grammar. I recently had new symptom, but I'll start at the begining. I have been diagnosed in 2019, but I had first s...

We asked 13 MSers what they would tell their loved ones when they were first diagnosed and the answers we got back speak volumes. Acute or chronic health concerns present barriers for MSers to engage in social connections and maintain social bonds. Shift.ms created these videos for MS Awareness We...

Hi all! I recently came across an article that suggested the Norse Vikings were the first to disseminate MS throughout the (known) world. There are obvious connections between Vitamin D and northern climates and the frequency of MS but how many of us can say with some degree of certainty that we mig...

Feeling blah. Just discovered this site! Excited to make new connections with other MS warriors! 🤜🧡🤛

Hello, I live in Texas, USA, and have to live off less than $40k to get my treatment for MS paid for by the local hospital. Before my diagnosis, I was going to travel and such but now, I am curious about if I could get better treatment somewhere else if I become a resident of another country. I ha...

Hi everyone! I am a new member and I look forward to making connections here. I have been diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS just over a year ago. I used to work as a Dental Hygienist (DH) and a DH educator with a college downtown. Since my diagnosis I have noticed an increase lack of balance and...

If you have never heard of neurologic based physical therapy, theres a good chance your neurologist hasnt either. I was referred to a neurologic based physical therapy last August(2020). Immediately my body responded and began working more normally. It was a domino effect, similar to the domino effe...

Hi there! I hope this reaches you all well pre Xmas and in whatever new lockdown tier you find yourself in. It’s been a heck of a year and I am keen to make connections with MS’ers and make some friends who want to speak on zoom or the phone or email and connect and support each other around MS an...

Talk to your kids about drugs. Maybe they’ll have better connections than us.

Well, since all of you know I am dealing with maybe being diagnosed with MS, I just thought I would come out of the closet too on here while I'm at it.... LOL!!! Just trying to make connections :) My partner and I just got married last week... it's truly a bittersweet time. :) She has been so ...

Hello all, I’m not quite new here, but having lost two accounts due to -first - technical issues and - then - my own ineptitude, I’m back to connectionlessness. I hope my location is visible, if not, I’m in Cardiff, UK. I’m not sure whether meeting up in a coffee shop is allowed right now (As I’v...

Hello again everybody. I posted a few days ago about not being able to login. My post never made it to the site. I've also had my account disabled and I have no idea why. I've lost all my contacts - again (I've opened three accounts and lost connections with everyone each time). If anyone has any id...
