Cat or dogs? 🐈🐾 Football or rugby? ⚽🏉 Tea or coffee? ☕ Want to chat with others like you? We’ll connect you with another MSer.
We’re going to guess if you’re newly diagnosed, you have a whole heap of questions that you want answers to and Dr Google is not helping. And you’re probably trying to do all this research whilst on the most intense roller coaster of emotions. 🎢 Stop right there, we can help.
Even if you’ve been diagnosed for a while, sometimes it helps to have someone else you can chat to who gets what it’s like to live with MS.🙋
Let us introduce you to other MSers like you. We’ll connect you beyond MS. Because MS is what you have, not who you are. 👍
The Buddy Network connects MSers together on a one-to-one basis. We have a bank of MSers who we have lived experience who are ready to support you. The Buddy Network is international, and you can connect in a way that works best for you, whether this is in-person, on a video call, over the phone or over WhatsApp.
• A friendly ear to listen to you
• Experience of being an MSer
• An unbiased outlook
• A non-judgemental approach
“Really great to be put in contact with someone who lives with MS, has first hand experience and understands when my support networks aren’t always able too.” MSer
At the moment, we’re lucky enough to have a lot of Buddies to support newly diagnosed MSers. Anyone who applies will be added to a waiting list.
You know what it’s like to have MS and the questions and emotions that go alongside dealing with diagnosis. As an experienced MSer, you’ll support newly diagnosed people through this time. The support might include sharing useful resources, explaining how you navigated treatment dilemmas or simply listening to their worries and encouraging them to become informed about their diagnosis.
