Hi everyone!

Rosaria

 My name is Rosaria and I am so pleased to have found this virtual community. 
I'm Italian, but I live in UK with my husband. I'm 30 years old and I live with Multiple Sclerosis since 2019. I think it would be nice to get new friends here.
Thanks for your time ☺️ 
Have a lovely day!

Hi @Rosaria,
Just wanted to join the others in welcoming you to the community! Thanks so much for sharing your story with us, too. I hope that you have found the links shared above easy to navigate.

Everyone here is lovely and I have no doubt that you’ll be making friends soon enough. I’m also glad that the weather hasn’t been too bad where you are. Have you managed to get out and about at all recently?

@Danielle_2022 Hello Danielle. 
Thank you so much for your welcome here  😊
Yes, I have been in London  several times and also in Manchester, visiting some friends too. 
I also worked in Cambridge few years ago and honesty I fell in love with that place. 

About the community, I have seen that here there is a lot of human support and I'm really glad to have found it.
I thought was hard for me to open myself, but I have to say that I feel relieved now that I can talk with someone who really wants to listen and share thoughts and feelings about disability. 

You know, sometimes it's hard to realise that I have Multiple Sclerosis, because it's seems invisible most of the time and it is hard to accept it, especially when you're in your 30s. 
However, I hope to find a different prospective, sharing ideas and making friends always helps. 

Thank you a lot for your support here. 

Have a nice day 😊
