Multiple
Sclerosis Message Boards - A quick word
|
| A brief word on using message boards, particularly if you are 'new
to the scene'.
There are a lot of good people who freely offer support and advice
who post on message boards.
Unfortunately, there are a few who aren't so nice who seem
to get their kicks from trying to upset others. They positively thrive
on arguments and disruption. This is known as flaming. Be smart. Ignore them!
Revealing
Information
Important! It is always best to err on the side of caution about the type of
information you reveal on the internet, such as your date of birth
and that type of thing.
For more information,
this section
of this web site deals with the basics.

BrainTalk Communities |
| Braintalk.org, an entire
community of neurological and other, related forums, has moved to a
new server and new software, thanks mostly to the hard work of
John Lester (now elsewhere). If you really want, you can read about
Braintalk and J Lester et al in the British Medical Journal.

Old BrainTalk Communities - Neurology Support Groups - commonly
known as MGH (Mass. General Hospital) - fast moving site with some excellent
contributors. Again, one or two 'hostiles' but ignore them and you will
find a lot of good information here too. Now upgraded to the
new site. |

MS World - fast moving site
if you can ever get beyond the signup process -
note to MS World webmaster - fix your stupid form handling!). One or two 'hostiles' but ignore
them and you'll enjoy using this message board. This is one of
the better sites on the internet. My only bug-bear is a rigidly
enforced policy which prevents the posting of hyperlinks. |

Spotlight Health:
Montel Corner
MS Veterans
Newly Diagnosed - three boards
at the one site - fairly relaxed most of the time, with some good info
available. Site longer with us, unfortunately. |
| |
| WebMD - Now split into 2 forums
- |
WebMD - Multiple Sclerosis; Peg Shepherd, RN, PhD and the
WebMD - MS Support Group.
Watch out for the 'oldies',
particularly if you wish to share some information on what might help
with MS!
