Group hug

I just wanted to post something after the sad news of Carolyn Flack…

Around five years ago I created a twitter account to learn more about my new illness multiple sclerosis and what I learnt very quickly was alot of people genuinely cared about how I was coping with it and wanted to give me moral support.

I was so confused, didn’t know where I would be the following day. I learnt to hide some people’s comments, block others and slowly I found I was genuinely caring about fellow MSers, this was never my intention, but in hindsight it was inevitable. We learn intimate details about each others illness and the affect it has on others too, plus we hear other news, whether it is good or bad. I am truly grateful for twitter, as I am in a better place for it, I know if I ask a question, you will jump to my assistance, give advise or support.

It’s so sad Twitter has a real negative side to it as we all know too well, but our little MS community is amazing, and I am only too happy to say a big thank you.

If you’re struggling, if MS is being a bully, please post it, we’ve got your back.
