#NotAlone Recap: On PatientsLikeMe, no one is alone…

As our #NotAlone campaign wraps up, we hope you’ve been encouraged by the thoughts and personal stories of how other members have felt less alone by learning, connecting and tracking on the site.

We recently had a look at all the member posts in the #NotAlone forum and wanted to share some highlights with you!

 “I feel less alone coming here; it also helps me keep track of things in a way I never could before … It helps to know others truly understand, as someone who hasn’t ‘walked in our shoes’ cannot fully understand.” – member living with MS

“…we all belong to a group where we have many similar experiences, where physical chronic pain seems to be one of the overwhelmingly major characteristics of what we all experience. That bonds us together as nothing else can. It does make me feel like I’m not alone, that none of us are alone as long as we have each other.” – member living with Fibromyalgia

“I have learned more here than I ever imagined possible and I have made friends. Good quality friends that really understand. I have shared with them and they have shared with me … I have learned there is power in numbers.”  – member living with MS

You can always revisit the #NotAlone forum threads to see more of what people said, and keep sharing your own stories whether in the forums or on your profile. Remember, you can help someone just like you see they’re #NotAlone every time you reach out to others and share your own real-world experiences.

#NotAlone, together.
