Did you know that most people who get MS are not only women but they are between the ages of 20 and 40 at the time of diagnosis? Women between the ages of 20 and 40 are also the same women who are becoming moms. It is because of this that Kristin Bennett created this site along with the Moms With MS Online Community to bring moms with multiple sclerosis together. Many moms are busy with their kids,some are unable to drive to events put on for other people with MS,and keeping the community online gives a way for moms to support each other through the joys and sorrows of parenting with MS.

Involved or Committed?

This past weekend,my husband and I attended a ‘round-table’ discussion with the National MS Society… to have an open dialogue with the MS Society regarding what the MS Community felt was needed – and ideas on what could be done to help the community as a whole. What a good time we had!

Support Group Thoughts

I’ve been asked me to consider starting a new local-support group. As I look at the support groups we currently have in this area,the big thing that jumps out at me is that they are lacking a group that will allow a place for the kids to play during the meeting (I know that . . . →Read More:Support Group Thoughts

Comparison Shopping

One of the seven deadly sins is Envy,and lately,I’ve had plenty of it for my sister moms who don’t have MS…although,sadly,not for reasons that are particularly mature. Like many women,I’ve spent more time in my life than I’d like to admit comparing myself to others around me. Any therapist . . . →Read More:Comparison Shopping
