Hello John, @tinakath01
and a warm welcome to our community.
Really sorry that life is giving you such a hard time. People on the site have a very wide range of issues and you are bound to find friends here. I used the search box and found this, which should take you to blogs, posts and discussions about MS
http://https//search.scope.org.uk/s/search.html?collection=scope-meta&query=ms&p%24lt%24ctl11%24SearchBox_1%24btnSearch=Search
and, outside of Scope, there's also the MS Society site, if that might be of any use to you:
https://www.mssociety.org.uk/ms-support/support-groups
Others who know more than I do will be responding soonso have a look around, use the search box and links and ask any questions you might care to ask.
It's good to have you on board.
Warmest best wishes,
Richard -
