This email discussion list has been set up for Australians with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), their families, friends, carers and health professionals. It is a forum for people to exchange information, ideas and support. Topics should be relevant to MS, but may include such things as supporting the newly diagnosed, discussions of symptoms, services people find helpful, current treatments, complementary therapies, research, upcoming events, etc. While a Health Professional at the MS Society of NSW/VIC is the list-owner, the discussion topics are controlled by the list members themselves. The MS Society therefore takes no responsibility for views expressed here. While all new members are welcome, please remember to respect each other's opinions, and that flaming and the use of bad language is not acceptable. You are advised not to change your treatment plan without first consulting your doctor
