You've found a great site for multiple sclerosis information and community.  We have much to offer to people who having been living with MS for years, to people who have just been diagnosed with MS, as well as those who are in limbo and have not yet been diagnosed.   Our community members are extraordinary, providing the type of encouragement and support which is sometimes hard to find on the internet.

We have an extensive archive of Shareposts, contributed by experts and community members, spanning a full range of subjects related to multiple sclerosis.  Our community members help each other frequently by asking and answering questions in our Q&A section.

If you are looking for what others have already said related to a specific topic, you can use the search bar found at the top of each page.  Just enter a couple words or a phrase related to the desired subject and you will find links to the many Shareposts, Questions, and reference material we have stored on site.  An example - type in “how to manage fatigue” to find related Shareposts and Questions.

You may have noticed a link to signing up for our newsletters in the green bar at the top of the page. When you click that and fill out the form, you'll get a weekly newsletter with links to news stories related to MS, chronic pain, medication, etc., as well as a monthly Share and Support newsletter with links to Expert posts and community content.

The MultipleSclerosisCentral Team

We have an excellent team of writers on the site, all of whom live with MS.  If you want to get an e-mail notification of new posts by us or any other community member, click on the person's name and on the right-hand side of their profile, click on notify me when there are new posts.  If you want to unsubscribe, you click in the same place.

Each of our writers bring years of experience living with the disease to their Shareposts and Answers.  We rotate writing posts here on MS HealthCentral, answering your questions, talking to you if you’re feeling insecure and down, congratulating you on successes and much, much more.

If you have any questions, concerns, or topic requests, you can send any one of us a message.  However, if you think that others might have the same question or concern, please consider posting it in the Q&A section or in a Sharepost so that the answers will be added to our public archive and serve to help more people in our community.

You may already know me, Lisa Emrich.  I am a musician, blogger, and patient advocate who lives with both MS and RA.  My posts appear weekly and cover a wide range of topics - from the latest medications or research, to symptom management, to personal experiences living with multiple chronic, autoimmune diseases.  In addition to writing for MultipleSclerosisCentral, I also contribute to our RA and Obesity sites and strongly believe in the power of community.
