MS is CHRONIC
MS is CHRONIC
Podcast Description
Welcome to MS is Chronic.
If you have Multiple Sclerosis, are on a journey that is leading to an MS diagnosis or know someone with MS this podcast is for you.
Having MS impacts people emotionally and physically. These episodes are with people living with, the often unpredictability, of MS day to day.
Telling their story with honesty, openness, humour and stoicism.
Sometimes the language can be a little blue. And the topics covered are from the heart, intimate and very personal.
This is not science, medical or health advice. It is regular folk sharing their own experience and from time to time the chat moves from MS into the normal humdrum day to day of life.
As the series develops guests will include perspective of family and friends of those with MS. I’ll have professionals share their knowledge insight and advice too.
If you’d like to be a guest in future series please get in touch.
Thanks,
Barney Black
