I have been a member of this group for awhile but have never really
posted anything. I have had MS for a year and a half, it will be 2
years in April. When I was first diagnosed I tried starting up a self
help group through the MS Society but no one showed up for the first
meeting, now I am trying again. I was just wondering if anyone had
any suggestions on how to get people to show up. I know when I was
first diagnosed I didn't want anyone to know and it seemed like a
death sentence, but I have realized that I still do have control of my
life and MS isn't going to control it or I am not going to let it even
though it does to some point, anyway. I wanted to start this self help
group so that I can talk with others in my area to see how they handle
different things, and family members that just don't seem to
understand, and all the other good stuff that goes along with MS. If
anyone has any suggestions, my ears are open or I should say my eyes

(lol).
Thanks in advance
Denise
