LadiesWithLesions

Welcome to Ladies with Lesions! LWL is the brainchild of an inquisitive MSer who realised the needs of specific communities of MSers where care, support and positivity are the key (and only) messages. “There is an abundance of information out there online with regards to MS. When I was initially diagnosed I found the major MS websites invaluable as a source of advice and further reading. After a time as an active contributor on various MS related social networks I personally felt the need for a more specific community to interact with, free from external spammers, people selling stuff, ranters and basically any negativity. I decided to set up my own MS based Facebook Group to enable like­‐ minded individuals to chat, share, support and most importantly laugh with each other. I thought maybe there were 2 or 3 other individuals out there, 4 or 5 even that I could connect with and who also felt the need to be part of a similar group. In actual fact I have been blown away by the response and LWL, still its infancy, has attracted over 400 members and counting! The group has grown organically through its members and we are now excited to launch our very own website as well as a national meeting structure the first of which took place in Birmingham (2/4/11) and went FANTASTICALLY!!! We have a little saying in the group – Chin Up Tits Out….and we all live by this mantra Be well!”
