Hello and welcome to About-MS where we Live In Victory Everyday with
Multiple Sclerosis!

Some important things to note:

#1 Our purpose is to encourage one another as we face the many
challenges of having MS, or providing physical, emotional and
spiritual support to others who have MS. An integral part of our
mission (for those interested in doing so) will be prayer - for
example members may as a group, or individually choose to pray and/or
fast for one another as needs and challenges arise in our lives.

#2 Please make your 1st post to the list an introduction - tell us at
the very least why you joined and if you plan to actively participate
or just 'lurk'.

#3 Whenever posting please be sure to change the 'Subject' field to
reflect the topic you are posting about. (The "A-MS" subject header
is added automatically.)

#4 Check out our links page where we have an extensive list of on-
line resources. Be sure to add a link to your homepage in the members
file while you are there and remember Mondays are always "Share a
Link" Day on the list. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/About-
MS/links

#5 Our chat room is open 24/7 but we have a scheduled meet & greet
every Saturday beginning at 9am EST & Sunday beginning at 9pm EST
continuing till we're bored with each other.
