About
As humans, we’re hardwired for connection. Belonging to a community makes us feel safe and helps us thrive. But so often, living with multiple sclerosis (MS) can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also feel like no one understands what it’s like. Until now. Our mission is to cultivate a space powered by the MS community and empowered by each other. From one-to-one chats to conversation forums, we make connecting easy. This is a safe place to find and receive advice, to seek and offer support, and to discover the authentic stories of members, just like you. Bezzy MS is a free online platform bringing new meaning to the word “community.” Our aim is to create an experience where: - everyone feels seen, valued, and understood - everyone’s story matters - shared vulnerability is the name of the game Bezzy MS is a place where you are more than your MS. It’s a place where, finally, you belong. HOW IT WORKS Social-first Content Like all of your favorite social networks, we’ve designed an activity feed to connect you with other members living with multiple sclerosis. We pride ourselves on making Bezzy MS a safe and secure space where you can join live discussions, connect one-to-one, and read the latest articles and personal stories. Live Chats Need to vent? Get advice? Share what’s on your mind? Hop into a daily live chat to join the conversation. They’re often led by our amazing Community Guide, but you can also expect to chat with other advocates and experts, too. Forums From treatments to symptoms to daily living, MS changes everything. Whatever you're feeling on any given day, there's a forum where you can connect and share directly with others. 1:1 Messaging Let us connect you with a new member from our community every day. We’ll recommend members to you based on your treatment plan, lifestyle interests, and needs. Browse member profiles and request to connect with anyone from our community with members listed as “Online now.” Discover Articles and Stories We believe that shared experiences empower the kind of belonging that can help people not only survive—but thrive—with MS.

I I installed after a few hours. This was listed under symptom trackers yet it doesn't contain anything that does that. It's more like Facebook for people with ms, but with poorly written code as it lags, stutters, and simply does not perform as intended. Nice try but not for me.

Great App. Great site and content. There are a few glitches in loading and opening personal content. Keep working on it, guys! Next time five stars. T. Kalb

Can be frustrating, with several freezes and shut downs. I want to like it for the community, but things could run more smoothly.

Worked great for about 3 days, then I began having trouble opening it. I've done everything....clear cache, uninstalled, reinstalled, allowed everything options, and it will not open but only once. Have restarted my phone numerous times to no avail. Sent feedback many times. Android user and have no idea what else to do.

I have mixed opinions about this app. In one way it was very helpful to me as I was getting diagnosed with MS. But the app is also quite buggy and can be frustrating to use at times. There are moments where you've typed a long response or comment only to see some of it was cut off once it posted.

The ow of the app straight to email noticlfication has been flawkess for me. I appreciate the ease of use. One thing that cpuld make it more lehible for many of us, would be to use a darker font for the actual text, member to member. Thank you.

App freezes a little bit when trying to scroll or click an option on message (such as comment or like).

Only reason I gave it a 4 is it's a pain to register and log in don't know why so it always frustrates me but the people the support in app AMAZING

Even if you dont like taking part, just reading others comments make it easy to see people experiencing common issues or symptoms. It's also great to hear new options or advice I hadn't thought about!

I have only been able to open the app twice and ever since then it freezes when i open it. I have tried updating the app, restarting my phone, etc. Too bad, I was really excited to use this as a resource to meet other people with MS.
