Dating

Are there any web sites available for people living with MS?

  1. Hi . Are you looking for a dating site for people with MS, articles about relationships or just a place where you can be comfortable discussing issues about relationships and intimacy? We have lots of articles and Forum posts about dating and sex with MS and we hope you will be comfortable asking for or giving advice, but we are not set up to connect people in that way. It is always possible people who connect here might become closer through private messaging and, eventually, meet in person, but our primary focus is support. I hope we can help you. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. Thanks for getting back to me. I am actually looking to be able to meet someone. I no longer feel comfortable trying to meet people on match or tinder. I walk with a cane and the added stress of trying to meet someone new in that manner exacerbates my MS.

      1. , I hear you! Dating is hard enough; adding MS to the mix just makes an already challenging endeavor even harder! If you look online, there do appear to be MS dating sites/apps. However, I can't vouch for their validity or safety, but you can definitely join them and test them out.


        I liked this article from the NMSS, although it doesn't mention any specific MS dating sites -- https://momentummagazineonline.com/finding-love-ms/.


        And this link does share info about dating sites and communities for people with disabilities -- https://msfocusmagazine.org/Magazine/Magazine-Items/Posted/Looking-For-A-Love-Connection.


        It may offer you some places to start, if nothing else. I do hope you find a space that offers you a place to connect with someone special!
