We’ve been learning about how connected our patients are this week in our blog series called “One for All.” In the first two blogs by Jeff Cole, we read (and saw through cool graphics) how some of our members are initiating an unparalleled universe of dialogue. Today, we sit down with one of those members, Diamondlil58. A true “diamond” in the MS community, she has left more than 16,000 comments to welcome other members and get conversation started. Here’s our interview with one of the founders of our PatientsLikeMe “Welcome Wagon,” Diamondlil58.
Please follow and like us:
diamondlil58 is so inspiring and I am amazed at how she is able to keep up with all she welcomes. Yes it’s true, she is a diamond! I also want to thank PLM for this site, I may read more than I write, but everyday I learn something new and have found myself sharing with people at my local support group.
I am so glad you finally interviewed Diamondlil58!!
When I found out how much she was doing in the background, I wrote to [the community moderator] telling him that she really should be in the patient spotlight.
She’s a true gem and a very dear friend. There is so much more to her than you know.
Diamondlil58.. keep up the GREAT work. Let me know how I can help!

My dear friend, I am truly honored that you make mention of me here. You have far surpassed anything I did! I think I welcomed over 5000 members, but by keeping the wagon rolling, you’ve helped so many people! You are a bright and shining star Lil, and I am so happy to call you my friend. Keep on welcoming new people girl! You are making a difference in many people’s lives, and they will never forget you for that. I love you more than words can say!
