I have just read many messages and did not know exactly how much advise or support there was. How do you cope when your spouse divorces you after 28 yrs being married. That has made my progression worse and i have to live with my parents. Iam 47 yrs old. A bit of humor here- yesterday at a manicure they thought I was 32!! I am trying not to be so bitter anymore but I feel it will be very hard to find a mate.Do you think ms will be in my way of finding someone thank you all it looks like there is a lot of caring people here.Wishing all well- Sue

Sue,
I'm so sorry you've been through so much. Just being told you have MS is bad enough, but to go through a divorce as well..well that really stinks.
I don't think that having MS should have any effect on finding someone special. I have read many happily ever after stories of people finding their someone special.
Feel free to vent here anytime. I'm sure there are others in your position.
You have probably already checked this out, but the Avonex website has a message board also that has some posts relating to dating.
I wish you the best.
Jen
