Dating with MS
Hi all. Dating can be complicated when you have MS. Others without MS often get frightened and confused by it all. Does anyone have any tips on dating, good websites or groups to meet people?

Hi, I am married with two children so I have not had to deal with dating and MS. I was diagnosed 2015 officially and I have to say that if it had been any sooner and I hadn’t met my now husband I would struggle on the dating scene. When I tell people I have MS people often ask me ‘is that the wheel chair disease’ I laugh and have to educate them. So I guess all I can say is be yourself, MS doesn’t rule your life, it doesn’t change who you are or define who you are, just explain to them that it is unpredictable but most people are lucky enough to live a ‘normal’ life :)
Thanks Craig and Holly. Appreciate your kind words. I think you are right I've been open an honest. Sometimes it bites you but better to be up front.
