would like to meet people of a similar age to me
Are there any meet ups in the North Manchester area that
happen, maybe for a face to face/dicuss worries/family/let your hair
down where all have the same diagnosis without sitting round with cups
of tea?
I muted this on the other forum and wondered if the younger generations would appreciate something like this. Found there was one for females in Bolton but is there any others? Would people appreciate one?

Hi Rebecca and everyone else (1st time posting on here)
I'm 25 if that helps ? I was diagnosed with RRMS in February this year after waking up xmas day to a, wha i now know was a horrendous relapse of double vision, numbness in left side of body, drop foot, muscle spasms (I don't do it by halves!) And am currently using a walking stick. The diagnosis was an absolute shock to me as at no point when I was having the MRI, seeing the docs, neuro etc, no one mentioned MS to me. A family friend has it, which has been a great comfort, but like you, I don't know anyone in my age group with and would really love to talk/meet. You're not alone :)

Hi Rebecca...
I hope you are feeling better. Umm.. I'm 17 years old and diagnosed recently with RRMS. If you need to talk to someone I am willing to listen eventhough I'm not the same age as you..Be Positive and Stay Strong.

Hi, I'm 40, had my first symptoms at 34 and have been taking
high strength vitamin D and Omega 3 every since. First relapse 6 months
ago, after a stressful time, still very mild thankfully.
Happy to talk to anyone with any questions.

Hey, I'm Susie, 31, not been diagnosed but have initial signs
with lesions on my brain. I'm finding it all very difficult and
confusing, even though I know and hope that my next MRI will be clear,
and would also really appreciate talking to someone of a similar age! I
don't know if it goes against the rules of the forum so I've not posted
it, but have just written a blog (not something I have ever done) to try
and work through my thoughts a bit. If it is ok, and anyone is
interested I'll give you the address. I would welcome any connection and
chat whether it is there or here!! x

Many years ago someone brought me something called a soul
catcher which is a journal - it's really good and is useful to use to
write down feelings - it has different sections in it and you can put
pictures in it etc. thought I'd mention to anyone that wants something
to write their feelings and thoughts etc as I found this to be the best
one. Think it's Kathy and Amy Eldon that designed it. It may help some
people so check it out - think its only on amazon as I haven't seen it
in stores anywhere.
